Cairo (CNN) — Any use of force to end mass protests staged by supporters of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy will only result in more death, the country’s interim interior minister said Saturday.
The warning from Minister Mohamed Ibrahim came as dozens were reported killed overnight in clashes between Morsy’s supporters and those opposed to his rule, an escalation of violence that has raised concerns among Western leaders about the stability of a key ally in the region.
