Tens of thousands of the supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi have remained undeterred in Cairo’s Nasr City, calling for the restoration of the constitution and the reversal of the coup that deposed him. The unrelenting pro-Morsi protests come despite warnings by the National Defense Council against the continuation of their sit-ins. On August 2, Egypt’s state-TV announced that, within the following 48 hours, security forces would block the two main protest sites in the capital, Cairo, where demonstrators have camped, permitting people to leave but not to enter. But the protesters have said that they would continue their sit-ins until Morsi is reinstated, using barricades and sandbags to fortify their camps.
