Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and allies called for more protests Tuesday after a bloody Monday, when the army opened fire on supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, leaving more than 50 people dead, Reuters reported.
The army said it was responding to attacks on its own soldiers.
“In protest against the military coup that was followed by suppressive actions, topped by the Republican Guard massacre that took place at dawn, we call on all citizens and honorable people to protest on Tuesday across Egypt,” Hatem Azam, a spokesman for a coalition led by the Muslim Brotherhood, told a news conference, according to Reuters.
