The Egyptian Army has issued a warning ahead of planned mass-protests against President Mohammed Morsi.

Army head General Abdel-Fatteh al-Sisi said the armed forces would "not remain silent as the country slides into uncontrollable conflict".

"There is a state of division in the society, and the continuation of it is a danger to the Egyptian state.

"There must be consensus," he said.

Opposition groups claimed to have gathered 13 million signatures calling on Mursi to step down, a week before Mursi's anniversay of his presidency.
