Egypt is facing continued violence and unrest amidst the latest escalation of the military government’s crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood. On Sunday, four soldiers were wounded when a bomb struck a military building north of Cairo. A bombing last week prompted the Egyptian government to deem the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, even though a separate militant group claimed responsibility. One person was killed and more than 100 were detained over the weekend in student protests against the anti-Brotherhood crackdown. Buildings on the Al-Azhar University campus were set on fire during the unrest. Egypt is set to hold a referendum on a new constitution next month.
