Egypt has declared a month-long state of emergency after scores of people were killed when security forces stormed protest camps in Cairo.
I Feel bad for the Egyptians..
This is briefly how bad it is.
The health ministry says 149 people were killed - but the Muslim Brotherhood, which was behind the protests, says more than 2,000 died.
The state of emergency is scheduled to last for a month. It imposes a curfew in Cairo and several other provinces between 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT) and 06:00.
Armoured bulldozers moved deep into the main protest camp outside Cairo's Rabaa al-Adawiya mosque shortly after dawn on Wednesday morning.
Officials say another protest camp, at Nahda Square, has been cleared and a mopping-up operation in the surrounding streets was under way.
Reporters described wounded protesters being treated next to the dead in makeshift field hospitals.
The 17-year-old daughter of leading Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohamed el-Beltagy was among the dead, reports say. Asmaa el-Beltagy was shot in the back and chest, her brother said.
OOuh God this is really bad.
I hope this ends so soon.
