For one month state of emergency has been declared in Egypt

The Egyptian authorities have announced the state of emergency yesterday, for a month, following the bloody conflicts which led to at 124 dead and many wounded, in just one day.

The Egyptian army, which is now in power, yesterday stormed the camps of the supporters of the dismissed president Mohamed Morsi. The international press described the attack as a "blood bath", which occurred after the police launched tear gas at the protesters in the Eastern area of Cairo, Rabaa al-Adawiya.

The Muslim Brotherhood, the party which supports Morsi, said that 2,200 people were killed yesterday, and over 10,000 were wounded, whereas the authorities only confirmed 56 deaths.

These dramatic actions surprised many people, including Al-Azhar, the Islamic faction which supported the army on July 3rd, when Morsi was dismissed. Al-Azhar distanced itself from the attacks which occurred yesterday in Cairo: "Al-Azhar wants to make it clear to all the citizens of Egypt that it had no knowledge of the methods used for dispersing the protesters, otherwise than through the press".

The local television channels sent images with several tents burning, with women and children threatened by the police and with armed troops exiting the perimeter. Many people were filmed sitting down, with handcuffs on and surrounded by security forces.

May other brawls started simultaneously in other areas of Cairo, as well as in many Egyptian provinces. Police stations, government buildings and churches were set on fire.

• The US - involved in the overthrow of president Mohamed Morsi

Reports which are part of an investigation conducted by the Berkeley University in California have recently stated that the American government has secretly financed the Egyptian opposition, which was asking for the overthrow of president Mohamed Morsi. According to the documents, the US has channeled funds, through a program of the State Department intended to promote democracy in the Middle East. The investigation of UC Berkeley claims that the program to aid democracy broke Egyptian laws, which prohibits foreign political financing, as well as the American one, which prohibits using taxpayer money to finance foreign politicians or subversive activities directed against democratically elected governments.

The leader of terrorist network Al-Qaida, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, recently accused the United States of "plotting" with the Egyptian army and with the Coptic Christian minority to force president Mohamed Morsi to resign. "The crusaders, the laymen and Egypt's Americanized army have agreed, due to the funds offered by states from the Persian Gulf and as part of an American plot, to remove president Mohamed Morsi", said Al-Zawahiri, an Egyptian who replaced Osama ben Laden as the head of terrorist network Al-Qaida.

The dismissal of Morsi one month ago, was an unexpected change of situation for the Muslim Brotherhood, which one year ago was celebrating the appointment of the first democratically elected president.
