Tens of thousands of pro-military and pro-Muslim Brotherhood demonstrators flooded Egypt’s streets, although the polar opposites have not clashed as much as they did during the violence last week.

The pro-military side continues to hold Tahrir square, the symbolic heart of the “Arab Spring” revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak two years ago.  This group says the overthrow of Mohammed Morsi last week was an extension of that revolution, and they’re blasting the other side, which calls it a “coup d’etat”.  In fact, they insist the military is supporting them and not the other way around.

Elsewhere in Cairo, Morsi's Muslim Brotehrhood and allied supporters have gathered outside a mosque and a barracks to demand his release from detention and reinstatement to Egypt’s Presidency.

Meanwhile, provisional authorities have acquitted eleven activists who were charged with inciting violence and destroying public property during a protest against the Muslim Brotherhood in March.
