Egypt is gearing up for major protests in the next fortnight. On 21 June, Islamist party supporters will gather in Nasr City, Cairo, in support of the Islamist president, Mohammed Mursi. These protests precede planned 30 June opposition protests against the embattled president. The opposition has been preparing for the 30 June for weeks under the banner of the "Rebel" movement. Opposition parties from across the political spectrum have indicated their support for the planned protest, which will demand the resignation of Mursi and new presidential elections.
