Police Break Up March of Pro-Morsi Supporters

Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

A protest march organized by pro-Mohammed Morsi supporters was broken up by police Tuesday morning.

The Morsi supporters claimed they were marching to protest the appointments of army officers as local governors. The police initially hit the marchers with tear gas but then backed off as local residents began to attack the pro-Morsi protesters with bottles and rocks.

Witnesses say the residents pelted the marchers from balconies yelling that they were terrorists.

The supporters of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood refuse to accept the new government.

The BBC reported that women and children were seen fleeing the site of the confrontation.

Egyptian authorities earlier this week threatened to move in and break up pro-Morsi protest camps that have been set up in central Cairo but as of Tuesday afternoon had yet to take any kind of definitive action.
