Egypt's President Mursi faces growing calls to step down

http://www.euronews.com/ "Mursi, get out!" shout the demonstrators as they hold up empty teargas canisters and spent ammunition - the debris from running battles with police the night before.

It's the anniversary of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak from decades in power. But his successor is just as unpopular.

President Mursi is facing calls for the demands of the revolution to be realised.

Wael Ibrahim, one of the demonstrators told euronews: "We went down into the streets to cast our votes, but we made a mistake and a bad choice. Our revolution isn't about destruction. The revolution will make Egypt and its generations happy. Our demands are: dignity, humanity and a proper salary, we don't need to live in villas."

Mursi's opponents claim that the Muslim Brotherhood - which propelled his rise to power - has betrayed them.

The Arab Spring brought hope to many Egyptians. But for just as many others, real change and democracy are still out tantalisingly of reach.

Good point who is Morsi going to be replaced by, another military junta ? We know that egyptians don't want that and liberal youth want a modern secular state but the US wouldn't allow that of course..

Reports are that Leon Panetta's 45 yrs old daughter had posed as me, who worked at HUD, and other fed. employees were arrested due to they thought it was me who got on tvReligion TBN and told them to join, make $, etc.

It wasn't me.

Putin, like Morsi, was around & he may have been trying to figure out if the woman on tv was me..she was with 1975 h.s. boyfr. I had back then. He changed in appearance to me; but others recognized him.

Well...Vatican II came in about '62 & I wrote to the Pope'01

Wasn't this guy seen in a local Restaurant/Bar in New York? 2011 I guess and

I did not know who he was at the time.

After that, Mubarak was arrested after Bush followed me as I went out to eat lunch in Depew NY.

Why did he follow me? Investigations began after his wife was passed out next to me (w/me passed out too) & the drug causes 'momentary temporary memory loss' is what was said to her & it is untrue.

It took until end 2012 for me to recall her passed out & me.

Where was the News?

So dear Opposition protests, who do you want Morsi to replaced by? Morsi is there because the people of Gaza Strip also needs him, he is a very anti-Zionist.
