More than 500 people have been injured in protests sparked by the power grab of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, who on Friday issued a decree widening his powers and shielding himself from judicial review. Both opponents and supporters have announced demonstrations for today, with the Muslim Brotherhood – to which Morsi is linked – coordinating with Salafists and other Islamic groups. The Egyptian stock market lost 10% of its value on the first day of trading since Morsi’s decree was issued, worsening the already troubled Egyptian economy.
