Egypt, ultimatum to Morsi: 5 ministers resign

After the street demonstrations, the Tamarod group - which leads the Egyptian protest - issued an ultimatum to Mohamed Morsi: he must resign by tomorrow afternoon at 17pm and leave room for early presidential elections, otherwise a violent campaign of civil disobedience will begin. At the moment the balance of the clashes is 16 dead and over 800 injured.

Five ministers of the Morsi government have already taken the road of resigning, saying they want to join the protesters and are against government policy. This was reported by sources of the Egyptian government, specifying that they are the owners of Tourism, Relations with Parliament, Telecommunications, Environment and Water Resources. 

Today a group of protesters attacked the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, where President Morsi is allegedly barricaded. In the night demonstrations in front of the movement's headquarters, a 26-year-old young man lost his life. The hostage was hospitalized in critical condition due to some stab wounds.
