Violence flared for a sixth day in the Arab world’s largest nation as protesters and police faced off in a deadly uprising that has left 50 dead and hundreds wounded. The bloodshed—sparked by the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak on Jan. 25—intensified Saturday with a riot after a Port Said court sentenced 21 fans involved in the soccer scandal to death. In spite of President Morsi’s state of emergency-generated curfew, the fighting raged on Tuesday, prompting Egypt’s army chief to warn of a “collapse of the state” if the political crisis continues. As the violence nears a seventh day, see photos of the unrest.
