Millions of people attended demonstrations across Egypt on Sunday June 30,2013 demanding Mohammed Morsi step down.Protesters across Egypt have accused the president of failing to tackle economic and security problems since being elected a year ago
The National Salvation Front urged “all the revolutionary forces and all citizens to maintain their peaceful (rallies) in all the squares and streets and villages and hamlets of the country, and not to deal with the Brotherhood government until the last of this dictatorial regime falls.”
Anti-Morsi protests were also held in the coastal city of Alexandria, the Nile Delta cities of Mansura, Menuf, Tanta and Mahalla, the canal cities of Suez and Port Said and in the president’s hometown of Zagazig.
In Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square, protesters waved red cards and Egyptian flags as patriotic songs boomed from large speakers.
The opposition movement behind the protests that saw millions take to the streets across Egypt on Sunday gave Mohammed Morsi until Tuesday July 02,2013 to resign.
Mohammed Morsi’s spokesman Ehab Fahmy, meanwhile, insisted on the need for a national dialogue.
“Dialogue is the only way through which we can reach an understanding… The presidency is open to a real and serious national dialogue,” Fahmy told a news conference
