In Egypt on Friday, at least four people died (Brotherhood
Supporters) in a clash between two neighborhoods in Cairo to reinstate Mursi.
An Egyptian army vehicle fired live rounds into the crowd of the Brotherhood
supporters who were trying to enter Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Riot police were
told to fire tear gas into the crowd to cause them to fall back from reaching
the presidential palace. The Brotherhood used to be very popular in 2011 but
after Mursi’s rule they became very unpopular. Egypt has suffered a lot of
political and economic turmoil since Mursi was overthrown. Friday’s violence
was due to Mursi supporters trying to enter Tahrir Square. Also on Friday, the
Salafi Jihadi militant group stated that any Bedouin leader who cooperated with
Egyptian authorities would be targeted.
Fear of terror has spread around the world. The power of
terror is to command attention to an issue and this has successfully been done
here. State terror is becoming a pressing issue in Egypt due to opposing rulers
and states because the different supporters go after each other causing clashes
as what happened Friday. Innocent people are dying because of the political and
economic turmoil from different leaders. It may become even more dangerous in
Egypt as the economy and politics become worse with the new leader. Suicide
bombers may become an issue.
