The protest by those opposed to the sweeping powers the Egyptian President, Mohamed Morsi, arrogated to himself has turned violent.
This was as a result of the counter-protest by supporters of Morsi, which was resisted by the protesting opposition.
News monitored on the television had it that the fight that ensued led to the burning of several party offices in cities outside of the country’s capital, Cairo.
Morsi passed a decree that places him outside judicial oversight.
The protest in Cairo, however, as at press time, had not turned violent.
But Egyptians are still gathering at Tahrir Square in the capital in their thousands.
