Morsi 'salutes all people of Egypt'

Clashes killed at least 31 people in Egypt's Port Said as violence raged into the early hours of Sunday in several cities including the capital following death sentences passed on 21 football fans after a riot.

Reporting live from Cairo: It's been more than two years since Egypt's revolution, but no one knows what will happen next.

It's been a tumultuous two years since Egypt became a democracy, and citizens are recognizing its anniversary by gathering to protest against President Mohamed Morsi. 

Egypt's Mohamed Morsi will be sworn in Saturday as the nation's first democratically-elected president, a day after he pledged to be a leader of all people during an address at Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Thousands of people rallied in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday calling for national unity, after attacks on Egyptian churches, and for solidarity with the Palestinians.Some held up crosses and others waved Palestinian flags as the numbers swelled in Cairo's iconic square, the epicentre of protests that overthrew president Hosni Mubarak in February after an 18-day uprising."If you attack a Christian, you're attacking all Egyptians," said one man delivering a speech at a podium.

Egypt appears to be coming unhinged once again. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy has imposed a 30-day curfew (from 9pm to 6am) on several of the nation's largest cities as tensions rise from several perspectives. The most glaring 'flare' in riots is due to the death-sentences handed out this week to 21 people involved in a Port Said soccer riot - where fans bashed each other with rocks and chairs) about a year ago (where 73 people died and more than 1000 were injured).

The Arab Spring, where citizens all over the whole Middle East caused powerful governments to listen and even topple, didn't ignite at Tahrir Square here in Cairo, but it's certainly where the revolution blazed hottest.
