turn violent – state TV

Egyptian celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the Arab-Israeli War were marred by a fresh wave of violence, with 15 people killed and dozens wounded in clashes between police and supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

Egypt’s Health Ministry says at least 15 people were killed on Sunday across the nation. Most of the dead had gunshot wounds, security sources told Reuters. Eighty-six others sustained injuries, according to state TV.

In Cairo, Egyptian police fired tear gas to disperse pro-Morsi demonstrators as they marched towards Tahrir Square, where pro-army supporters gathered to celebrate the 1973 war anniversary. The tear gas and birdshots reportedly sent protesters running towards western Cairo’s Dokki neighborhood. Police chased demonstrators and beat them up before detaining them, a witness told AFP.

Clashes also erupted in the Garden City district in the center of the capital, where police fired tear gas and chased protesters along the Nile Corniche, forcing some demonstrators to jump into the water. Police boats were sent to retrieve protesters.

Unrest was reported in other parts of Cairo and in several other cities, including Alexandria, Aswan, and Suez. Earlier on Sunday, a pro-Morsi supporter was killed and at least two people were injured after clashes with police erupted during a protest march in the town of Delga, located 300 kilometers south of the capital.

Amid fears of new violence in the divided nation, security forces and armored vehicles were heavily deployed in Egyptian cities as events were held to commemorate the October 1973 war, known as the Yom Kippur War in Israel. The Interior Ministry warned earlier that it would “firmly confront” any violence during the celebrations.

Mesir telah kekal dibahagikan berbahaya selepas tentera menggulingkan yang dipilih secara demokratik Morsi pada bulan Julai, berikutan tahun yang bergelora di pejabat. Rampasan kuasa itu diikuti dengan tindakan keras keras pada pergerakan Ikhwan Muslimin Morsi, bersama-sama dengan tangkapan pemimpin-pemimpin dan pegawai-pegawai lain.

Bekas pemimpin Mesir sedang menghadapi perbicaraan kerana menghasut pembunuhan penunjuk perasaan di luar Istana Presiden di Kaherah pada Disember 2012, apabila sekurang-kurangnya 12 orang terbunuh dalam pertempuran. Pemerintah baru Mesir juga menuduh Morsi bersubahat dengan Islam Palestin Hamas dan merancang untuk menyerang balai polis semasa revolusi 2 tahun lalu yang menumbangkan pemimpin terdahulu, Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt has remained dangerously divided after the military overthrow of democratically elected Morsi in July, following his turbulent year in office. The coup was followed by a harsh crackdown on Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood movement, along with arrests of its leaders and other officials.

The former Egyptian leader is facing trial for inciting the murders of protesters outside the Presidential Palace in Cairo in December 2012, when at least 12 people were killed in clashes. Egypt’s new rulers also accuse Morsi of conspiring with Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and plotting to attack police stations during the revolution two years ago which overthrew his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
