Cairo: Clashes between opponents and supporters of Egypt's deposed President Mohamed Morsi have claimed 9 more live which reached the number to more than 100 since democratic elected Mohammad Morsi was ousted by an army coup state-run media reported.

The Muslim Brotherhood described it as an attack on peaceful protesters and blamed the killing on thugs backed by the Interior Ministry. 

With Brotherhood vowing to stay in the streets peacefully, the current wave of bloodshed may seem to push Brotherhood towards militancy so that their legitimacy may be questioned here.

The overwhelming population of Egypt, who supported the elected President Morsi, wants him back in the power. 

It was unexpected from Western governments and media to not support the democracy as they are not only silence on the army coup but rather supporting the army through painting the picture on other way and describing Morsi supporters as Islamist supporters of Mursi.

But, world should support democracy in any form, we should not set double standards to support democracy in one part and dictatorship in other part of the world. 

The state-run Al-Ahram newspaper quoted a health ministry official saying nine people had been killed and 33 wounded in the Cairo University clashes, while two wounded in fighting on Monday had died, bringing to 14 the number of deaths in violence between rival protesters in Egypt in the last two days. 

At least 15 burned-out cars lay abandoned around the university area where the clashes took place.

More than 100 people have killed in violence since the army deposed elected president Mohammad Morsi.
