Protesters cahnt slogans during a demonstration in front of the presidential palace in Cairo, Egypt, Dec. 9.
Egypt's liberal opposition continued their protests Sunday, keeping up the momentum of its street campaign after President Mohammed Morsi made a partial concession but refused its main demand that he rescind a draft constitution going to a referendum on Dec. 15. Morsi annulled most of the controversial orders that gave him sweeping powers without judicial review. The opposition stopped short of advocating a boycott or a “no” just one week before voting begins, but called for another rally on Tuesday.

Morsi is not going to get what he expects. The Egyptian people know they must stand firm against what he is trying to do or else they will be right back where they were before this whole debacle began and lose all the progress they made. They know there is power in the masses Morsi cannot fight if they stick together.
