Protesters demanding President
Mohamed Morsy’s ouster regrouped on Thursday evening with renewed marches to
the presidential palace in Heliopolis
A march originating from Al-Nour Mosque in Abbasseya
arrived in the evening at Marghani
Street
Some young men and women in the march carried symbolic
coffins, chanting favorite slogans such as “The people demand the downfall of
the regime,” “Freedom,” and “Justice, justice, they killed our brothers with
bullets.” Many were wearing helmets, a sign they were prepared for possible
confrontations.
An angry mood pervaded among the protesters, who often
chanted that they would refuse to dialogue with the president. One activist,
Kamal, frequently led the chant: “No dialogue with the one killing
revolutionaries.” Those present condemned Morsy’s use of what they called a
militia to attack the opposition’s peaceful demonstration.
They also chanted: “Listen to our voice everywhere; this
night is the Brotherhood’s end.”

The Republican Guards are currently securing the palace
with barbed wire barriers. Rows of security forces stand behind them with
batons and tasers.
Two tanks and two other military vehicles were positioned
behind the security forces, facing in the direction of the palace.
Around 10 ambulances have been positioned close to Marghani Street
