Egyptian President, Mohammed Morsi is facing a similar situation that his predessor, Hosni Mubarek is facing one year after being elected into office.
According to the BBC, violence has sprung up once again when pro and anti Morsi protestors clashed in Tahrir Square overnight on Tuesday.
The Egyptian army has acted swiftly and imposed a deadline for the president to decide how to act on the situation. Morsi in a passionate speech told supporters he would shed blood to protect Egypt. The army meanwhile has vowed to deal with any terrorist or radical by any means.
Protestors gathered to show respect or their disdain on the one year anniversary of Morsi election into power. The Military has stated that the president's power keeps waning with every passing minute that he allows these protests to grip the country, just like they did 2 years ago.
Fresh clashes claimed the lives of at least 16 pro-Morsi supporters at a demonstration at Cairo University.
