Clashes renewed between pro-Morsi and opposition in Alexandria on Friday afternoon.
This as, Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei called on the National Salvation Front Coordinator and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to "reunite" the Egyptians and stop the referendum on the draft constitution in order to save Egypt from bankruptcy and put it on the road to security and stability. ElBaradei’s call comes in the run up to Saturday’s second round of the draft constitution referendum, a controversial issue which has split the country’s people with 56 percent voting “yes” according to unofficial results.
Earlier, protesters who oppose the constitution remained in their camps in Tahrir Square.
Their presence in the central Cairo square follows weeks of protests and clashes between members of President Mohammed Morsi Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Morsi protesters.
The first round of voting drew an unexpectedly low turnout of about 32 percent and was boycotted by most judges who traditionally monitor it.
Rights groups said there were numerous violations and unofficial results from the first of two votes.
Meanwhile it seems that Egypt's Coptic Christian community stands on the sidelines with growing fears from Egypt's growing wave of Muslim extremism. Around a week before the vote, some 50,000 Islamists marched through the provincial capital, Assiut, chanting that Egypt will be "Islamic, Islamic, despite the Christians." At their head rode several bearded men on horseback with swords in scabbards on their hips, evoking images of early Muslims conquering Christian Egypt in the 7th Century.
