To bring you up to speed, this is CNN‘s rundown on what’s going down:
Demands. Prayers. Chants. Exhortations. Reflections. As Egypt reels from protest to protest, for many Egyptians it has never been more important to get message out about why they are on the streets — to each other, to the media, to any opposing side.
The country has been rocked in recent days by protesters demanding the resignation of President Mohamed Morsy, with demonstrations at times threatening to spiral out of control as the pro- and anti-government sides clash violently, at times fatally, over the country’s young democracy.
The protests are the latest to wrack the country in what has proved a dramatic, often bloody, two years since the country’s 2011 revolution ousted former President Hosni Mubarak. Morsy was elected in Egypt’s first democratic elections a year later, but since then critics say he has become increasingly authoritarian, while the country’s economy continues to falter. This crisis has led to many of his supporters amongst the poor and middle class to become disaffected, analysts say.
Hectic.
