In Egypt, supporters of former President Mohamed Morsi are launching new protests today to call for his return to power almost exactly a month after he was ousted by the military. Despite a pledge by the interim government to gradually clear out Morsi supporters who have been occupying Cairo squares, protesters said Thursday they would remain in place.

Morsi supporter: “We will not evacuate this square until Mohamed Morsi is returned to power, and legitimacy and the Parliament return. That’s all. Even if they come with tanks, we will remain peaceful. Our peacefulness is more powerful than bullets. Our peacefulness is more powerful than bullets.”
