At least 6 people have been killed in clashes in Cairo on Tuesday, as supporter of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, held a sit in.

Clashes across the country has left at least 9 people dead within the last 24 hours, as supporters and opponents of Morsi frequently fought runing street battles.

Meanwhile Morsi's party, the Mslim Brotherhood, reiterated it's stance that the "coup must be halted", in what marks Egypt's bloodiest period since at least 50 Morsi supporters were reportedly gunned down by Egyptian soldiers. More than 90 have been killed since Mors was ousted on July 3rd.
