CAIRO — Tens of thousands of protesters crammed Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday for the eighth day of anti-Morsi demonstrations that were sparked by a Thursday, Nov. 22, constitutional declaration that gave President Mohammed Morsi vastly widened and unchecked executive powers.
Some of Egypt’s most prominent politicians started an open-ended strike at Tahrir Square until Morsi withdraws his constitutional declaration and dissolves the disputed constituent assembly which passed a draft constitution after almost twelve hours of internal voting held on Thursday, Nov. 29.
