Egypt: Bid to break up the Muslim Brotherhood
THE Egyptian authorities revealed yesterday they are considering disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood group, as fresh clashes broke out at a mosque in Cairo during a stand-off involving supporters of the party.
The announcement came after security forces broke up two sit-in protests last week by those calling for the reinstatement of President Mohamed Morsi, the Brotherhood leader deposed in a coup last month.
The clashes killed more than 600 people and sparked protests and violence that resulted in the deaths of 173 individuals last Friday alone.
