Egypt's interim prime minister, Hazem Beblawi, has declared a nationwide state of emergency resulting from a bloody protest in the city of Cairo and its environ.
So far, about 235 civilians and 43 police were killed. But the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed the protests, says more than 2,000 people died in the violence.
Police have now taken control of the camps in the capital and are reported to have arrested key Brotherhood leaders.

In a televised address, Mr Beblawi expressed regret for the loss of life and said the state of national emergency would be lifted as soon as possible.
The measure, scheduled to last for a month, imposes a curfew in Cairo and several other provinces between 19:00 local time (17:00 GMT) and 06:00.
Mr Beblawi also said police had been given instructions not to use weapons to disperse protesters.
In the wake of the violence, Vice-President Mohammed ElBaradei has announced his resignation from the interim government.
"I cannot continue in shouldering the responsibility for decisions I do not agree with and I fear their consequences. I cannot shoulder the responsibility for a single drop of blood," he said in a statement.
