Military increasing presence throughout Alexandria..here..and the regions surrounding Ciaro

The Egyptian army has set a deadline of 4 p.m. Cairo time for the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Morsi to compromise with the people of Egypt (by stepping down.) Morsi refuses. 18 people were killed and 200 were wounded in clashes at Cairo University last night.
A Washington Post report from Cairo on dueling statements from Morsi and the army:
Waving his hands and shaking his fists in a 45-minute speech on national television late Tuesday, Morsi swore that he was committed to the democratic process that brought him to power and said that any attempts to subvert the constitution were “unacceptable.”
The army, in turn, posted a message to its Facebook page saying: “We swear to God that we will sacrifice even our blood for Egypt and its people, to defend them against any terrorist, radical or fool.”
In his speech, Morsi acknowledged that he had made mistakes during his year in office as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. But he appealed to Egyptians to give him more time to deal with the country’s problems.
Link to originial FR thread from Friday with many amazing photos.
Keep’ em coming.
The darn auto correction forces things when typing fast on an iPad!
I would like to see Egypt and also the Lost City of Petra.
Am trying to be selective to show the Historical part...notso much the pro-Morsi stuff....it's lean on line anyway...and they are using fake photos from the opposition. So I have to always check on those...too time consuming unless significant.
This is where the Ikhwan gather in Rabaa.
Obviously, this is the reason.

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS.....
‘KUDOS TO THOUWORM’ FOR INSTRUCTING ME CLEARLY AND PRECISLY HOW TO POST PICTURES....IT TOOK PAINSTANKING DIRECTIONS AND HE/SHE TOOK THE TIME TO DO THAT.
CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!!!!!
MORSI CALLED FOR VIOLENCE AND THE USUAL MARTYRDOM!
I hope he and his gang, the MB, get what they wish.
God bless thouworm!
You are doing a wonderful job!!
So that when Morsi is forced to publicly accept the military's terms, it will be seen as a brokered agreement, not a coup.
Or to summarize, PR.
Statement soon - Breaking Al Arabiya:
Meeting between military leadership & political and religious leaders has ended .
Bump
20:15 Fireworks are lighting up the sky in the streets near to Ittihadiya presidential palace, reports Ahram Online’s Bel Trew.
“People are singing and dancing, and some are holding posters of military figures chanting ‘the heroes are here,’ ” adds Trew.
20:10 Mohamed El-Beltagy, deputy head of the Freedom and Justice Party, gave an angry statement to Al Jazeera English from the pro-Morsi rally Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square.
“This is nothing short of a coup. A coup against legitimacy, against the will of the people, against the ballot box, and the democratically approved constitution. Everyone knows that we have never initiated violence. Our offices and our leaders were attacked; many of our supporters were killed amid silence from army and police.”
El-Beltagy condemned the military’s statement and rejected the army’s interference in the political crisis.
“These masses [in Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square] are not seeking a confrontation with the army, but they refuse to see the army siding with one faction of the people against another, re-entering the political arena and being part of this division. We will not seek violence but we will not surrender our right to fight attempts of subverting people’s will.”
Your link is no longer working, I found another below. It is an important statement of the US position to preserve for posterity when Obama pronounces later today or tomorrow, “The Egyptian people have spoken. We stand with the Egyptian people.” LOL

BEST poster EVER!!!
Cairo Square now...
“Morsi insisted he would reach out to all political factions and “heal Egypt” at this turbulent time; he promised consensus not partisanship, a constitution to reflect the national will not the private interests of the Brotherhood, a revolutionary pursuit of social justice and an end to state violence against citizens.
It was those promises that handed Morsi the presidency: millions reluctantly gave him their vote because they believed in his commitment to the revolution. He failed on every measure.”
