seluruh negara. Ikhwan Muslimin mendakwa bilangan sebenar adalah jauh lebih
tinggi.
Kerajaan
sementara Mesir telah mempertahankan tindakan keras. “Saya percaya bahawa
selepas mengumumkan keadaan darurat, dan selepas presiden yang diberi mandat
tentera untuk membantu polis, kita tidak akan membenarkan mana-mana yang lain ‘Sit-in
di mana-mana tempat di negara ini, tidak kira apa pengorbanan,” kata Menteri
Dalam Negeri interim Mohamed Ibrahim.
Kesabaran
tentera Mesir kehabisan semalam - 2 ‘Sit-in di Kaherah di mana penyokong
Presiden Mohamed Mursi yang digulingkan telah selama beberapa minggu enggan
meninggalkan sehingga ia semula, telah dibersihkan.

mati dan cedera telah dibawa ke hospital tempatan di mana doktor menyifatkan
tempat kejadian kerana selepas pembunuhan beramai-ramai.
“Semua
orang cedera yang datang ke hospital dilanda peluru hidup dan bukanya birdshot,”

Cairo
under curfew after worst bloodshed in decades. Cairo's streets were largely
empty on Wednesday night as the city was put under curfew after Egypt's worst
bloodshed in decades. The army also announced a month-long state of emergency.
The
official number of dead after the military broke up Islamist protest camps is
around 300 nationwide. The Muslim Brotherhood claims the true number is far
higher.
Egypt's
interim government has defended the crackdown. "I believe that after
announcing the state of emergency, and after the president mandated the
military to assist the police, we will not allow any other sit-ins in any place
in the country, no matter what the sacrifice," said interim Interior
Minister Mohamed Ibrahim.
The
patience of Egypt's military ran out yesterday - the two sit-ins in Cairo where
supporters of ousted President Mohamed Mursi had for weeks refused to leave
until he was reinstated, were cleared.
According
to army footage, the security forces acted with restraint in the face of what
they said were armed protesters. The dead and injured were taken to local
hospitals where doctors described the scene as the aftermath of a massacre.
"All
the injured people that came to the hospital were hit by real bullets and not
birdshot, " said one doctor at al-Adawiya hospital. The army has insisted
it is not seeking power and acted in response to mass demonstrations calling
for Mursi's removal.
