US and EU Officials Try To Ease Egyptian Tensions

Luke 21:9-10: [Jesus said] "When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."

Various sources are reporting that U.S. and EU envoys are having meetings with the military backed government in Egypt in an attempt to bring the supporters of ousted Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Morsi together in a power sharing plan.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns met with the Muslim Brotherhood and their political party and then met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy. European Union envoy Bernardino Leon joined the discussions with Fahmy.

The army released a statement saying that General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi told clerics that a peaceful solution is possible if all sides would renounce violence.

Morsi loyalists have been angered by the talks saying that the two protests happening in the capital will not end until the Muslim Brotherhood is returned to power. The interior ministry said that the Brotherhood could return to a role in the democratic process.
