Following the bloody clash which erupted between Pro-Morsi supporters and security forces, Egyptian presidency has declared a one month state of emergency throughout the country, CEOAFRICA.com gathered.

This was announced shortly after the Health Ministry said 95 people had been killed in Cairo and elsewhere since the clashes with Morsi supporters began earlier in the day.

But, Pro-Morsi supporters said the figure of casualties were much higher than what the government reported.

Meanwhile, sources have disclosed that a cameraman for British broadcaster Sky News and a Dubai-based newspaper reporter were also killed during violence.
