Pro-Morsi rally cut off from the outside world

Cairo, Qahirah, 14 July 2013 (AFP)

Diehard supporters of deposed President Egyptian Mohamed Morsi were rallying in Cairo for nearly two weeks, calls for his reinstatement, but their prolonged protest has left isolated.

Since the sit-in protest beginning, their main source of news was of speeches from a forum created by the Muslim Brotherhood, group which ousted the Islamist leader that Morsi is native.

Good number of interventions focus on reports of progress in the preparation of pro-Morsi mass rallies on the square in front of the mosque of al-Adawiya Steve where they are collected and across the country.

Supporters of Morsi, of which many have traveled far to reach Cairo, accept these words no doubt and celebrate their.

Last Sunday the party freedom and Justice, political arm of the brotherhood, said 4 to 5 million had filled the square in front of the mosque - a figure far from the actual number of demonstrators.

Ibrahim Mohamed, who came from the province of Sharqiya in the Nile Delta, has installed a tent outside the mosque in the suburb of Cairo's Nasr City under a poster of Morsi, pending his return.

"We are here in our millions... our numbers are higher than the opponents of Morsi," Mohamed told AFP.

"President Morsi will return to power. For us, this was confirmed in the speech to the rostrum, "he says.

Morsi supporters think that most Egyptians support their claims, dismissing millions of people invaded the streets of Cairo on June 30 to demand the resignation of the Islamist.

Sayyed Abdullah, an engineer, said he thought that these gatherings have been organized.

"The June 30 demonstrators were soldiers of the central security (CRS) and the remains (of the regime of former president Hosni Mubarak)."Expanded media photos and spread the rumor that the Egypt was on the streets, he said.

Speakers who have held on the platform outside the Rabaa al-Adawiya have said members of the Christian minority in Egypt also took part in rallies pro-Morsi as proof of its popularity.

Mohamed Ahmed, of the second city Alexandria, said "it is Christians here with us at the protest," as did Ibrahim Mohamed, but both admitted that they did not all personally.

Speakers have given speeches inflamed, responsible for religious discourse.

Some of them, preachers, linked to the brotherhood, said the demonstrators on the dreams people have been having since the beginning of the rally.

It is said that the Prophet Muhammad met Morsi and told him to lead the prayers, while another said that the Archangel Gabriel appeared above Rabaa al-Adawiya.

One of the preachers said that a man claimed that seeing the general Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the head of the army, which helped topple Morsi, covered in blood.

Others have said that senior army officers have defected in favour 'Legitimacy' of Morsi.

The army has denied this claim.

On the other hand, the media reported that the brotherhood requires his followers to stay at the Rabaa al-Adawiya by confiscating their identity cards.

But the brotherhood rejects this. His spokesman Ahmad Aref saying that speakers are responsible for their opinions told AFP that "we have no control over what is said on the podium,".

The brotherhood, he said, was not "put pressure on the person to stay, the decision is down to the fans".

Eleven days after his ouster, Morsi loyalists are still in shock.

They have passed the president's supporters to supporters of a head of fallen state and a group whose leaders are wanted for questioning.

The sadness and bitterness that they feel clearly on the faces of those at Rabaa al-Adawiya, where hundreds appear to cry as they pray, claims his return.

Wearing white before them shrouds as they paraded before the cameras, some said that they were ready to give their lives for him.

One of them, Taha Abu al-Sheikh, said that if "they said 'go and conduct an attack suicide somewhere' people, we'll take our shrouds and walk behind them".

In the streets, the white shirts printed with the slogan "Martyr Plan" began to appear.

Mohamed Yussri, one of the teenagers wearing shirts, told AFP: "I won't let this place except in a coffin. We will support Morsi with our blood. »
