Anti-government protesters ignored President Mohamed Morsy's curfew order in cities along the Suez Canal and clashed with police and troops, state-run media reported Tuesday.

In Port Said, about 4,000 people joined the protest, which began at Mariam mosque and continued for hours, winding its way through the streets. They chanted anti-government slogans, at times laced with profanities.

We could be seeing Egypt enter a state where the country is split up in multiple directions, or worse engage in almost tribal like anarchy with no overall powerful government, and more of areas govern by tribes like what we see in places like Afghanistan.

The problem is that when they fought to bring down the government before, they had no idea who they were going to replace them with. So, they ended up with a government that is just as bad and maybe even worse.
