The Egyptian capital Cairo erupted in violence today, as both pro-and anti-Morsi protesters held huge rallies in the city.

The ousting of the elected President Mohammed Morsi has left the county divided and today’s violence has raised the speculation the country is heading towards civil war.

The military is being accused of killing over 100 pro-Morsi protesters. The clashes have also left around 1,500 people injured.
