Protests across Egypt for resignation of President Mursi


Millions of Mass protesters across Egypt raising anti-government slogan for the resignation of President Mohammed Mursi continued overnight,
on the first anniversary of his inauguration. Morsi loyalists are staging counter-demonstrations, saying they will defend the leader with all means available.
Seven persons were killed in the violence in upper Egypt while more than 600 people were injured in the clashes between the rival groups during the protest march.

Media  reports that agitated protesters attacked the headquarters of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo and Alexandria.

 Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi knows he has made mistakes and is working to fix them, his spokesman Omar Amer said on Sunday as massive anti-government demonstartions engulfed the coutnry. 
"(Morsi) announced to all of Egypt’s people he made mistakes and that he is in the process of fixing these mistakes," Amer told a late-night news conference. 
"I want to confirm one truth, if there is a total lack of response to this initiative, no listening to it, no interest in it from any side, what do you think the presidency can do?"
"We respect the demands of the streets, and we acknowledge that the political scene in Egypt is continuously changing; however, initiatives are being made constantly and communications are ongoing,” Presidential spokesman Omar Amer said during the second press conference of the day. Amer also called for dialogue, “Those who have demands or visions must sit for dialogue."
