Egypt’s Islamist Alliance in Support of Legitimacy supporting deposed
President Mohamed Morsy and demanding his reinstatement remains defiant
continuing to call for the massive demonstrations of their supporters. In their
official statement published on Sunday the group has called for their
supporters to gather on Monday, on the eve of Eid Al-Adha, one of the biggest
Muslim holidays, for the million-man march called “Pray for Egypt”.
The march is planned to start after the morning prayers and last till
the evening, but the location of the gathering is not specified till now.
Egypt’s Islamist groups and supporters of deposed President Mohamed
Morsy continue to organize the protests and marches in order to express their
position and call for reinstatement of Morsy as President and refusing to
accept the political roadmap issued and proposed by the military after it has
ousted Mohamed Morsy by the special decree amid the massive protests against
his rule nationwide at the end of June.
The numbers of the marches are significantly lower than it was before
but the marches continue to be held on a regular basis.
The threat of the new violent clashes between Muslim Brotherhood’s and
Mohamed Morsy’s supporters and opponents during the planned marches are high as
thousands of people are expected to gather on the squares of Egyptian cities on
the eve of the Eid on in the morning of the holiday to celebrate it and to
participate in the traditional early morning prayer.
It’s worth mentioning that the celebrations of the anniversary of the 6th
October War last weekend were marked with the violent clashes erupted between
Morsy’s loyalists participating in the march and the opponents and also
security forces. The clashes left at least 57 people dead and hundreds of
injured.
Security measures are being tightened in
Egyptian capital and other cities as well on the eve of the holiday.
