There’s been a definite change of mood in recent hours as the very real prospective of the president being forced out of office dawns. More and more of Muhammad Morsi’s supporters are taking to the streets but the huge anti-Morsi crowds had once again congregated around the country. It has almost inevitably led to clashes between the two groups. Deaths have now been confirmed in Cairo and elsewhere in less than 24 hours the deadline issued by the army expires. After that they say they’ll implement what they’ve called their roadmap for the running of the country.

The victims’ main lawyer, Jacqueline Moudeina has told the BBC that 13 years after Mr. Habre’s first indictment which was then dropped by the Senegalese authorities, these charges came as a great relief.
