Egypt: Mohamed Morsi supporters call for 'million-man march' His loyalists accused security forces of using live fire against unarmed protesters but Egypt's interior ministry said only tear gas was used. Egypt's polarisation has been growing since Morsi's July 3 ouster by the army after massive protests against him. His supporters remain defiant, insisting he will be reinstated, but the interim government has said it will move to disperse the protests and warned it would take "decisive" action if demonstrators overstepped their bounds.
