Millions Protest in Egypt for Morsi’s Resignation

HeadlineJul 01, 2013

Millions of people have rallied across Egypt calling for the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi one year after his inauguration. Sunday’s protests sparked clashes that left at least 16 people dead and nearly 800 injured. Among those killed in previous days of unrest was Andrew Pochter, a 21-year-old Kenyon College student from Chevy Chase, Maryland. Anti-government demonstrators reportedly ransacked the Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo and set it ablaze. The Egyptian government says up to 17 million people turned out nationwide. Tens of thousands of people remain in Cairo’s Tahrir Square and outside the presidential palace, vowing to stay until Morsi steps down.
