A protester opposing Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi throws a tear gas canister, which was earlier thrown by riot police, during clashes along Qasr Al Nil bridge, which leads to Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 27. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi announced on Sunday he was imposing a state of emergency for 30 days in three cities along the Suez Canal that have been the scene of the worst violence that flared over the weekend, killing more than 45 people.
"Down, down Morsi, down down the regime that killed and tortured us!" people in Port Said chanted as the coffins of those killed on Saturday were carried through the streets.
In a televised address, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi said a nightly curfew would be introduced in Port Said, Ismailia and Suez, starting Monday evening. He also called for dialogue with top politicians. About 200 people protested in Ismailia after the announcement.

Get Down Morsi. Get down Morsi..
If not, kick him and his supporters to Suez canal!
Look at the worldwide anger against them!
Lot of anger built up in the Egyptian masses......... hopefully it blows up again and they can try one more time to get this right.
The Muslim Brotherhood is obviously not the right path no matter how much guns , ammo and money we give them.

Oir rich Sunni rulers of House of Saud, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar and other Sunni Arab League nations inspired Muslim Botherhood has soon turned into Muslim Bloodhounds!
They willl soon tear whatever they touch to pieces as in other places.
One can't imagine, US, British, French and European leaders talk big about democracy, women rights, human rights and so on, still keep rulers like those of most barbaric, bigoted and beastly House of Saud with 5000 princes and princesses.
Are we in 21st century or some seventh century?
In Egypt, the Sunni extremists with labels like Salaffi and MB (Muslim Bloodhounds) are opening up new chapters of Islamic bigotry. Morsi is just a front for them.
Just watch the fate of sane Muslims, minority sect/tribe people, Christians, women and Israel as the time goes by.
Egyptians should kick, kick and if required kill Sunni one-way traffic bigoted and barbaric Muslim Bloodhounds and drive them out of Egypt.
Followers of Islamic cult, especially House of Saud and other Sunni ME rulers inspired and funded Sunni Islamic radicals and militants (al-Qaida, Salaffi, Wahhabi, MB, Taliban and other label ones), are fast marching backwards to their seventh century desert tribal days.
They are indulging in rapings, lootings, killings and genocides of non-Muslims (Darfur, S. Sudan, Nigeria and spreading like wild fire in many regions and Muslims (Libya, Yemen, Mali, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other places).
Pakis and Sunni rulers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE and other Sunni Arab League nations are responsible for 80 percent of world problems including economic ones.
Examine the devastations with Iraqi wars and now sanctions on Iranian oil and the resultant oil price manipulations (oil price hiked from $40 in 2009 to more than $110 now).
They are making the lives of their own people also miserable by their Islamic religious madness to the intolerable levels.
For world peace and economic stability including normal oil/gas prices, erase Saudi Arabia and Pakistan from the map.
As a first step declare both Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as terrorist nations.
looks like a mob doesn't need guns -- rocks will kill evidently
The weapons we sent them including the F16 Fighter Jets are waiting to be used against Israel and or the US.
