On the second anniversary of the overthrow of the regime of former Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, protesters clashed with police outside his palace demanding the departure of President Mohammad Mursi. Reportedly, dozens of youths started throwing rocks toward Ettihadiya palace after a peaceful march by thousands of demonstrators who accused Mursi’s conservative Muslim Brotherhood of hijacking Egypt’s democratic revolution and seeking to tighten grasp over power.
Security forces responded by firing water cannon and teargas from the walls of the presidential compound aimed to disperse protestors. The presidency’s spokesman Yasser Ali called on all parties to condemn the violent demonstration. ‘Violence will burn the fingers of those who call for it and use it. The presidency supports the continuation of peaceful protests and freedom of expression but any attempt to veer off peaceful protesting will be dealt with firmly,” he added. He also rejected the recent speculation that the president Mursi may sack the existing cabinet and form a national unity government.
The society does seem to move on peaceful path. It is divided sharply on the basis of pro and anti-Muslim Brotherhood. These series of violent demonstrations show that how Egyptians have departed, and how oppositions are worried about possible perversion and fall prey to another trap. people are worried that after suffering under the rule of President Mubarak and making sacrifice to end the regime, they do not fall once again to hand of another dictator.
Thus, they are agitated and it is in need of a long time that government ensures that it is not involved in activities to deprive people or parts of people from their rights. No matter how the president Morsi and his colleagues have tried to convince people that they are not going to monopolize the power instead will develop a plural system representing all Egyptians, but normalcy has been restored.
Sometimes, demonstrations of Pro and Anti-Islamist regimes led to violent clashes among them but recently clashes with police have accelerated. Now, opposition parties are demanding Mursi be put on trial over the deaths of nearly 60 demonstrators in anti-government protests that erupted on January 25, but the public prosecutor says there is no evidence to link the democratically elected president with the deaths.
The question is, “Will Muslim Brotherhood be able to mollify oppositions and convince oppositions to avoid disrupting the serene movement of the society?” Eyes are set towards the government whether it will succeed to calm down all parties and end the progressive disturbances.
