Egyptian Civil War

Mohamed Morsi is the ex- president of Egypt.

He was deposed by Egypt's military after he was given unlimited power by the government. He faces new charges of organising unrest and actions that lead to human casualties. These human casualties can rip people of their freedom, because they are wounded, dying, or dead.

More than 100 Christian families fled El Arish in the Sinai after receiving death threats from Islamist groups following the fall of ex-president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi. On 11th of July, the body of another Christian was found decapitated, he had been kidnapped a few days prior. No Christians are left in the towns of Rafah and Sheikh Zowayd.

This deprives Christians of the choice of where they live.

Other countries have different views on the conflict in Egypt.

Saudi Arabia says that they will aid Egypt in case the West decides to halt assistance. Quatar and Turkey have a completely different view, thinking that Mohamed Morsi is the rightful president of Egypt. This issue doesn't give the public the right to choose freely, as it is all in the hands of the power brokers who are running the government.

Some industries have been effected by the war. Tourism has been effected, Many U.S travellers have cancelled trips to Egypt and some tour operaters are avoiding the country completely, and Delta Air Lines and Egypt Air have suspended flights from the U.S to Cairo.

This is not fair on people who have paid good money to have a world tour or even just a tour of Egypt, and are not able to go there. Also tour guides and pilots have not gotten their pay because their jobs cannot be performed.

(As of 9th of July) Heavy gunfire had killed 2 policemen and 1 army officer.

42 troops were injured, 8 in were in critical condition.

53 people were dead, and 435 were wounded. Cairo remains the epicentre of violent clashes and it has much damage such as crushed buildings and roads.

People took a lot of time and effort to build these buildings and roads. It is unfair for people to go out and ruin it. This also deprives people of freedom because some peoples houses have been crushed, depriving them of the right to live where they want.
