Egypt has declared state of emergency for one month following nationwide violent clashes between Pro-Morsi supporters and military forces.

According to Egyptian state TV the Egyptian presidency has taken the step after 120 Morsi supporters were reportedly killed by the state forces on Wednesday morning when security forces were disbanding two major Islamist protest camps in Cairo and Giza.

Over 850 people were injured in the clash.

The Egyptian presidency released one statement which said that the state of emergency was imposed because of ongoing dangers and deliberate sabotage acts by some extremist groups.

Reacting to the news,  Muslim Brotherhood, who demands reinstatement of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi, said in a statement, “The world cannot sit back and watch while innocent men, women and children are being indiscriminately slaughtered. The world must stand up to the military junta’s crime before it is too late.”

Since military overthrew former President Mohammed Morsi, the first democratically elected President of Egypt, on July 3, violent protest erupted in Egypt and hundreds have been killed so far in violent clash between pro-Morsi supporters and state forces.
