FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “The military was asked to intervene by millions and millions of people, all of whom were afraid of a descent into chaos,” Kerry said in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad on Thursday.
The US official stopped short of calling the military ouster of Morsi a coup, adding that “the military did not take over, to the best of our judgment… to run the country. There’s a civilian government.”
Kerry also said Washington was working with the European Union and other countries to find a peaceful solution to the crisis in Egypt.
Under the US law, financial assistance to any country whose elected head of state is deposed in a military coup is prohibited.
The situation in Egypt remains extremely tense as supporters of Morsi have rejected the interim government’s call for an end to their protests.
Thousands of supporters have continued their sit-ins in Cairo despite recent deadly clashes with security forces.
A coalition of Morsi supporters said in a statement issued on Thursday, “The national alliance supporting legitimacy and defying the coup calls upon all the free people of the world to demonstrate peacefully in (an) ‘Egypt against the coup’ march of the millions.”
Egypt’s Interior Ministry has called on Morsi supporters to leave their protest camps in the capital, promising them a “safe exit.”
The interim government has already ordered security forces to clear two protest camps packed with Morsi supporters.
Tension has intensified in Egypt since the head of the Egyptian armed forces, General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, announced on July 3 that Morsi was no longer in office. Sisi also suspended the constitution and dissolved the parliament.
On July 27, at least 150 people were killed and scores of others injured in clashes during rival demonstrations by the supporters and opponents of Morsi across the country.
