Egyptian army to intervene if unrest erupts during Anti-Morsi protests

A sign at an anti-Morsi rally that was held last December.

An excerpt from, "Egypt’s June 30 coalition publicizes roadmap for anti-Mursi rallies" (Al Arabiya, June 23):

Mursi on Saturday renewed his calls for dialogue with the opposition in an attempt to ease deep political rifts ahead of the planned protests.

“I have said it before. I urge everyone to sit together to discuss what would achieve the interests of our nation,” Mursi said in an interview published in the state-owned Akhbar al-Youm newspaper.

The interview came a day after tens of thousands of Mursi supporters massed in Cairo in a show of strength.

Mursi and the Brotherhood have turned their organizational prowess into electoral success since the 2011 revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak, but a diverse opposition coalition now hopes to force Mursi to resign by demonstrating en masse on the first anniversary of his inauguration on June 30.
