Muslim Brotherhood calls for further civil disobedience

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood has called for further civil disobedience after a similar announced two weeks ago largely failed when political groups and civilians did not respond.

In a statement by the National Alliance in Support of Legitimacy on Wednesday, Brotherhood-affiliated campaigners called on 'revolutionaries' across Egypt to resume activism against the 'military coup' through a sustained wave of civil disobedience.

It also called on supporters to raise awareness about the impacts of the overthrow of Mohamed Morsy, as well as its dangers - including a Cabinet which, the alliance claimed, was leading the country towards destruction.
