Two die as protests spark clashes in Egypt
Riot police have clashed with supporters of Egypt’s former Islamist president across the country, leaving two dead as the Muslim Brotherhood renewed calls to protest ahead of a key referendum later this month.
Fighting spread through heavily populated residential areas in several cities and provinces including Cairo, Giza, Ismailia, and Alexandria, as dozens of Brotherhood members and their supporters threw rocks at security forces who responded with water cannons and tear gas.
