Egypt Pro-Democracy Bloc Calls For Fresh Demos

The National Alliance for the Defense of Legitimacy, the main support bloc of ousted president Mohamed Morsi, has called for a fresh week of demonstrations to protest Egypt's deteriorating economic conditions.



In a Thursday statement, the pro-democracy alliance called on supporters to wave loaves of bread at their rallies to protest what they describe as the country's worsening living conditions.



Egypt has been dogged by instability since the army unseated Morsi, the country's first freely elected leader, last July following massive protests against his presidency.



Pro-democracy protesters have staged almost daily rallies ever since to demand his reinstatement.
