CAIRO—Millions flooded the streets on Sunday determined to oust Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on the anniversary of his turbulent first year in power, in the biggest protests Egypt has seen since the 2011 revolt. As chants of “Leave!” rang out around Cairo, the presidency insisted dialogue was the only way out of the crisis. Despite the peaceful atmosphere of the day, as night fell, isolated acts of violence left two people dead. “It is the biggest protest in Egypt’s history,” a military source told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that “millions” of people were on the streets across the country. One person was killed in the central province of Assiut when gunmen on a motorbike opened fire on protesters, a security official said. Another person died and 40 others were injured when clashes broke out between supporters and opponents of Morsi in Beni Sueif province, south of Cairo. Both incidents took place outside offices of the Freedom and Justice Party, the political arm of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood. Dozens of “thugs” also attacked the Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo with petrol bombs, birdshot and stones, Gehad al-Haddad, a spokesman for the Islamist movement said. Morsi’s spokesman Ehab Fahmy, meanwhile, insisted on the need for a national dialogue. The crowds, including women, children and elderly people, hoisted long banners in the colors of the Egyptian flag and raised red cards _ a sign of expulsion in soccer. Residents of nearby buildings sprinkled water down on the marchers to cool them in the punishing summer heat and waved flags and blew whistles in support. In one camp are the president and his Islamist allies, including the Muslim Brotherhood and more hard-line groups. They say street demonstrations cannot be allowed to remove a leader who won a legitimate election, and they accuse Mubarak loyalists of being behind the campaign in a bid to return to power. They have argued that for the past year remnants of the old regime have been sabotaging Morsi's attempts to deal with the nation's woes and bring reforms.
Some people know what they want, it's not like mumu black Africans. All they know is to talk, to insult and threaten to send thunder. Yeye Peoples, Dreamers.

WOULD THEY HAVE ALLOW THE SAME TO HAPPEN TO THEM ... EBIG NO . KARMA WILL COME BACK TO THEM SOON ... syrian people use to have a normal life before under their so called dictator .. but now everyone is in street begging for food .. no home anymore , children outside the street suffering , even the worst is that they will start learning how to commit crime due to lack of parental guidance .. imagine leaving in tent for over 2years now , someone that has home , feed well before .. EVERYTHING IS ALL GONE WRONG due to the wicked selfish interest of the so called powerful countries ... where will it end ? will it ever end ? i remember when i bomber kill few american citizens for the marathon case , the whole world codemm it , but people die everyday in syria , what we hear is talk talk talk , we will start suplying arms to labels , this that ... the labels you know not ? stupidity in the highest order ... this problem is avoidable if we remove personal interest ... i really hope that one day someone will instigate american and uk people to start this type of demostration in their country respectively , so that we will see how they treat their own people ..or kind of measure they will take ... the world leaders has lost its conscience .... i hope nigerian wil be wise enough to ignore them when they come calling . peace.
