CAIRO, Wednesday
Egypt declared a month-long state of emergency Wednesday as violence raged across the country following a crackdown on supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsy.
The nationwide state of emergency will begin at 4:00 pm (1400 GMT), the presidency said in a statement read out on state television.
The exceptional measures came as “the security and order of the nation face danger due to deliberate sabotage, and attacks on public and private buildings and the loss of life by extremist groups,” the presidency said.
