'wartawan Mohammed Shaikhibrahim menyifatkan kejadian di Rabaa al ‘Adawiya persegi sebagai “zon perang”:
“Ia
adalah amat sukar bagi kita untuk menuju ke dataran kerana tembakan sengit.
Kami tidak dapat mengenal pasti di mana ia datang dari mana tetapi ada pasti
tembakan dari kedua-dua pihak di antara polis dan rakyat di Rabaa al-Adawiya
persegi. Terdapat juga beberapa kebakaran di beberapa bangunan di sekitar
dataran kerana tembakan itu, “katanya.
Operasi
polis untuk membersihkan kem-kem di Nahda Square dan Rabaa Al ‘Adawiya bermula
pada kira-kira 7:00 pagi waktu tempatan. Menurut Kementerian Dalam Negeri,
pasukan keselamatan menggunakan gas pemedih mata dan bukannya peluru hidup
sebagai sebahagian daripada apa yang dipanggil “langkah yang perlu” untuk
menyuraikan penunjuk perasaan. Ia menambah bahawa jalan keluar yang selamat
telah ditubuhkan bagi kebanyakan penunjuk perasaan, tetapi “orang-orang yang
dikehendaki oleh pihak pendakwaan” telah dihentikan dan diadakan. Beberapa
pemimpin Ikhwan Muslimin dilaporkan telah ditangkap, walaupun tidak ada

“tidak apa-apa untuk menumpahkan darah Mesir.”

Deaths
in Cairo as Egypt security forces clear pro-Mursi protest camps. An unknown
number of people have been killed in Cairo in violence triggered when security
forces began clearing two protest camps set up by supporters of ousted
President Mohamed Mursi.
Members
of the Muslim Brotherhood group, Egypt's pro-Mursi faction, are talking of a
"massacre" on the streets. They claim around 100 people have been
killed, with some unconfirmed estimates even higher. Authorities put the number
much lower, in single figures. A journalist working for news agency AFP said he
had counted 43 dead bodies.
Egypt's
interior ministry said two members of the security forces were killed by
gunfire as they moved to break up the pro-Mursi protests, describing them as
'martyrs'.

Euronews'
correspondent Mohammed Shaikhibrahim described the scene in Rabaa al-Adawiya
square as a "war zone":
"It
was very difficult for us to head towards the square because of intense
gunfire. We couldn't identify where it came from but there is certainly firing
from both sides between the police and the people in Rabaa al-Adawiya square.
There are also several fires in several buildings around the square because of
the gunfire," he said.
The
police operation to clear the camps at Nahda Square and Rabaa al-Adawiya began
at around 7:00 am local time. According to the Interior Ministry, security
forces used tear gas rather than live ammunition as part of what it called
"necessary measures" to disperse the protesters. It added that a safe
exit path had been established for most demonstrators, but that "those
wanted by the prosecution" were being stopped and held. Several Muslim
Brotherhood leaders are reported to have been arrested, although no names have
yet been given. The Ministry insisted the intention was "not to shed any
Egyptian blood".

There
have also been reports that Muslim Brotherhood supporters set fire to Coptic
Christian churches in Sohag, south of Cairo. Egyptian Copts, who make up
between 6% and 10% of the country's population, have warned that Mursi
supporters are targeting them in revenge for supporting the military-led
removal of the president on July 3.
Outside
of Cairo, clashes were also reported in the cities of Minya, Alexandria, Suez
and Assiut.
The
protest camps were set up after the democratically-elected President Mursi was
removed from power by the army six weeks ago. At least 250 people have been
killed in violence between police and Islamists and secularists from Egypt's
pro- and anti-Mursi factions since.
Reacting
to Wednesday's events, the EU has urged restraint. Michael Mann, a spokesman
for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said: "The reports of deaths
and injuries are extremely worrying. We reiterate that violence won't lead to any
solution and we urge the Egyptian authorities to proceed with utmost
restraint."
