Egypt declares end to state of emergency

Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Egypt declared an end to its state of emergency, nearly three months after it was initiated following nation wide protests.

The state of emergency was initially implemented during crackdowns on violent protests that led to the death of hundreds of Egyptians.

Protesters continue their demonstrations today, some calling for deposed President Mohammad Morsi to be reinstated. Morsi and other members of his Muslim Brotherhood party face many charges of inciting violence and killing protesters.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has openly criticized the Brotherhood.

Kerry said the revolution "got stolen by the one single most organised entity in the state, which was the Brotherhood."
