It is chaos in Alexandria in Egypt where some demonstrators attacked two Muslim Brotherhood offices, the party of President Mohamed Morsi, following the decree with which the latter granted himself almost unlimited powers until the election of a new Parliament.
Some of the demonstrators managed to break into the headquarters of the Islamist party, setting a fire, according to some sources. There were some hard clashes on the streets of the city, near a mosque, between supporters and opponents of Morsi, and some are said to be injured.
Parallel demonstrations are taking place in Cairo, with Islamists demonstrating in front of the presidential palace, while opponents gathered in Tahrir Square, symbolic place and epicenter of the revolution against Hosni Mubarak. And it is precisely the specter of the former head of state that is glimpsed today in Morsi, accused of having become, after this last decree, a temporary dictator.
