Following the hundreds of deaths in Egypt, the country's cabinet will be reconvening to discuss the proposal of dissolving the Muslim Brotherhood.
Members of the Brotherhood, keen supporters of ousted president Mohammed Morsi were the key to the street protests and armed stand offs over the past weeks. Following the armed clearance of the protest camps on Wednesday, the Brotherhood has urged supporters for daily protests.
Hundreds died during the attack while clashes on Friday claimed the lives of a further 173 people. The son of the Brotherhood's spiritual leader Mohamed Badie, was among Friday's victims.
The interim government is planning to continue its clampdown on demonstrators as more protests are being organised this morning in Cairo. Media reports claim the streets of Alexandria, Helwan and Minya were packed with protestors who defied the overnight curfew.
Security forces yesterday cleared Muslim Brotherhood supporters barricaded inside the al-Fath mosque in Cairo after a lengthy standoff.
Statements issued by the interior ministry claim 1,004 Muslim Brotherhood members were arrested during raids across Egypt. Bombs, weapons, ammunition and firearms were seized during the raids. Mohammed al-Zawahiri, the brother of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, was amongst the detained.

Egypt has an illegal administration. The people of Egypt chose democratically. They only should decide who to Govern them. The United States who in words says that she believes in Democracy should declare that the army's conduct is anti democratic and anti human Rights. Morse should be reinstated as President and another Democratic Election be held, which should be supervised by International Reps, to see that it was played fair.
