Three years after after the fateful attacks in Benghazi, its residents yearn for stability.
It's been a month since the guns of the Egyptian army cleared protesters off the streets of Cairo.
After several days of deadly violence, Egypt seems to be alive again with pedestrians filling streets during daylight hours. But in the evening, it's another matter, says David Kirkpatrick, the Cairo Bureau chief of The New York Times.
Supporters of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi have staged a continuous sit-in protest inside Cairo since he was forced from office by the country's military leadership. On Wednesday, the military launched a bloody assault on the largely Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group of supporters, killing hundreds and injuring more.
Scores have been killed and many injured in Egypt today after the army went in to clear the camps of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi. Meanwhile the interim government has declared a month-long state of emergency.
Egypt's interim leader Adly Mansour has expressed sorrow over the deaths of at least 51 people near a barracks in Cairo, urging restraint amid ongoing unrest. The Muslim Brotherhood's political wing meanwhile called for an "uprising."
Armed groups that helped overturn Muammar Gaddafi two years ago are pressuring for more regime change. As New York Times correspondent David Kirkpatrick explains to anchor Marco Werman, the gunmen are demanding that some Gaddafi-era ministers step down.
Egyptian general Abdel Fattah al-Sisi warned about a possible "collapse of the state." His warning comes amid a wave of protests and violence that's left more than 50 people dead.
