At least seven are dead and hundreds wounded after deadly clashes between Muslim Brotherhood supporters and opposition protesters. The violence follows two weeks of protests responding to Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi’s power play last month, when he issued a decree that placed him above judicial oversight. On Democracy Now!, Nation Institute fellow Sharif Abdel Kouddous reported live from the scene in Cairo, where he says protesters are using the same “kind of language that we heard during Mubarak’s ouster.”
