About to get real in Cairo

Appears to be headed that way...

Egypt Police To End Pro-Morsi Protests

When former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was ousted from power amid massive protests of his regime, his supporters took to the streets of Cairo to demand his reinstatement.

Come Monday morning, these pro-Morsi demonstrators will have to contend with Egyptian security forces who have been tasked with dispersing the tens of thousands of people staging the sit-ins. Mediators and some Egyptian officials have urged the police not to use force against the protestors, but the plan will move ahead at dawn even if it leads to more bloodshed in the streets.

About 300 people have been killed in clashes since Morsi was forcibly removed from office.

Islamist militant group in Egypt says it was target of Israeli drone

An Islamist militant group said on Saturday four of its members were killed in an Israeli drone strike in Egypt's North Sinai region.

"Our heroes became martyrs during their jihadi duties against the Jews in a rocket attack on occupied lands," the Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group said on a jihadist website.

Egyptian security sources said earlier that four Islamist militants were killed by a missile strike on Friday as they prepared to launch rockets at Israel.

It was not clear how the militant group determined that its members were the target of an Israeli drone strike.

Five security sources told Reuters the attack was carried out by Israel. But the Egyptian armed forces officially denied that was the case and an Israeli army spokeswoman in Jerusalem declined to comment on the incident.

The two countries have cooperated in tackling the threat from Islamist militants in Sinai in the past and neither seemed interested in creating a fuss over this case.
Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis criticized the Egyptian military for what it called its repeated cooperation with Israel.

The Egyptian military said two explosions took place at a site 2 miles west of the border and south of the city of Rafah on Friday afternoon.

The security sources in Sinai said an Israeli aircraft struck at the militants, killing four, after discovering they had planned to fire rockets into Israel.

One source said the Israeli aircraft had observed the militants preparing three rocket launch pads to hit Israel. It launched a missile, killing two men, then killed another pair who stepped up to the pads after the first strike.

However, an Egyptian army spokesman denied in a subsequent statement any Israeli role in the incident.

Militants based mainly in North Sinai near the border have escalated attacks on Egyptian security forces and other targets since July 3, when the army deposed Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and installed a new government.

The Sinai is largely demilitarized as part of the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty of 1979 but Israel has approved troop reinforcements to combat the militants and arms smuggling by Palestinians into Gaza.

The desert peninsula has long been a security headache for Egypt and its neighbors. Large and empty, it also borders the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip and flanks the Suez Canal linking Asia to Europe. It is also home to nomad clans disaffected with rule from Cairo.

The Egyptian army said on Wednesday it had killed 60 militants in the Sinai Peninsula in the month since Morsi's overthrow.

and ADG nailed it; they were waiting for the end of Ramadan . . . but [I think I heard] there is another holiday coming up so it will be interesting to see if they (the army) act quickly or just get in position.

At least according to the NYC Alternate-side of the street Parking Calendar Holiday Schedule:thumbsup

What is really horrid is the presence of children of the Brotherhood's pro-Morsi protesters at their sit-in encampments.

I guess child endangerment is part of their cause? I read that there have been 276 deaths attributed to the most recent political crisis.

The pro-Morsi protesters have expressed a willingness to become martyrs for their cause -- martyring their children too -- peaceful settlement doesn't seem a realistic possibility.

I'm off into cairo soon. Hope it chills out a bit.

Stopping for a holiday? What a joke.

Back in 2006 a 2 story 120 square meter houses were on sale for $25k near Hurghada... Now free I assume.

Looks like an Army Vehicle was pushed off an overpass here.

So, which side am I supposed to support? Their government, or the protesters?

I hope they work it out and let us know quickly.

those monkeys know nothing but trouble ...

I support neither. I'm not educated enough on it and our media sucks.

Example of a fake rally.

Ha! It showed on the news here that people were blaming America for not stepping in.

I guess America is damned if it does, damned if it doesn't...

Well, expected to hear the US rep say :

'' Hazem el-Beblawi and the military must go '' as they said before ..

But, even with a military coup and against its own laws , the US is supporting the military regime ...

Democracy .... lol

I haven't seen that even hinted at on AJ or RT

America is the evil that kept Mubarak in power or why America and/or the EU does not help to restore order -- it depends on who you ask.

Fighting and dying for your magical man-in-the-sky and his right Prophet is stupid.

The pro-Morsi protestors were warned for a week that their resistance protests would be brought to an end and their tent cities cleared out -- the Army brought out bulldozers and soldiers.

Egypt is a country of some 84 million, considering the last 2 years that many really haven't died as compared to a lot of other contested revolts, coup de ta, or whatever you want to call it.

Unfortunately, neither side calls it needless death.

250+ dead ppl already :(

The Health Ministry said 235 civilians were killed and more than 2,000 injured, while Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said 43 policemen died in the assault

Muslim Brotherhood has said over 2,000 dead . . . both sides lie about their numbers, I'd guess closer to 1,000 based on prior exaggerations.

Muslim Bros = not ready for prime time

The best move for Egypt = Turkish style secular govt. They need an Egyptian version of Ataturk (minus the Armenian genocide of course).

Securalism a day keeps muslim extremism away

I remember when I used to watch aj and rt and some people here mocked me

'' They are killing their own people ... ''

http://www.aljazeera.com/mritems/ima...73032232_8.jpg

Isn`t the USA against the '' killing your own people '' thing ????

Quote:

By evening, the Egyptian Health Ministry said 235 civilians had been killed in violence across the country, and the Interior Ministry said 43 police officers had been killed. The number of injured was put at 900. But the large number of dead and critically injured Egyptians whom reporters for The New York Times saw moving through various makeshift field hospitals in Cairo indicated that the final death toll would climb much higher.
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/15/wo...ast/egypt.html

Local television footage showed protesters streaming out of the Rabaa al-Adawiya sit-in Wednesday evening; some of them running with children, their hands held high in surrender, as security forces pushed further into the camp. Footage posted online also purported to show pro-Morsi demonstrators firing assault rifles.
http://m.washingtonpost.com/world/eg...4_story_1.html

The government insists people in the camp were armed. Television stations controlled by the state or its sympathizers ran footage of what appeared to be pro-Mursi protesters firing rifles at soldiers from behind sandbag barricades.

Reuters journalists and other Western media did not witness such incidents. The crowds appeared to be armed mainly with sticks, stones and concrete slabs against police and troops with rifles.

How did (or if) the pro-Morsi demonstrators kill that many armed policemen? With rocks and wooden clubs?

What do you think would happen if demonstrators killed 43 policemen in the USA or in Russia in one day?

Interestingly, the Chinese haven't said anything :upsidedow
