Egypt Begins Clearing Pro-Morsi Sit-Ins, Killing Protesters
Morsi supporters protest outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque in Cairo on August 12, 2013.
A day after Egypt's military government named nineteen generals as provincial governors,
sparking complaints of a return to the authoritarianism even from some
who pushed for the ouster or Mohamed Morsi six weeks ago, Egyptian
forces followed through on their threats to dismantle
two antigovernment sit-ins in Cairo. The capital was paralyzed on
Wednesday morning as authorities sent in armored vehicles, bulldozers,
and helicopters to back security forces in clearing the protest camps
near Cairo University and the Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque. Though Egyptian
officials say around two hundred protesters were arrested and none were
killed, the Muslim Brotherhood claims there were several dozens
fatalities, calling the operation a "massacre."
