Latest reports suggest that at least 50 people have been killed in the latest wave of clashes between security forces and supporters of the recently deposed Mohammed Morsi.
Hundreds of people gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square with the military-backed government to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, whilst equal amounts of Morsi supporters gathered in protest of the new government.
The assemblies descended into street violence, with security forces using tear gas and rifles against the protesting Morsi supporters.
Over 200 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, were arrested in connection with the violence.
