Supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsy are flocking to Rabaa al-Adaweya and al-Nahda squares from different governorates on Friday morning. Islamists have called for a million-man protest in Cairo on Friday under the name “Friday of march” to demand Morsy’s reinstatement as president.
According to Anadolu news agency, the number of protesters increased significantly Thursday evening and Friday morning as people from various governorates started to arrive in both squares.
The National Coalition to Support Legitimacy spokesperson said on Rabaa stage that the coalition is willing to negotiate on anything but constitutional legitimacy.
On the stage in Nahda, it was announced that Salah Sultan, secretary general of the Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, would give the sermon for Friday prayers. Many marches will arrive from different parts of Giza to Nahda Square in the afternoon.
On the other hand, the Tamarod campaign called for an iftar gathering Friday near the Ettihadeya and on Tahrir Square to stress national unity.
