“Tell us again mr. president how the people of Egypt now have what they want.  And while your at it, tell us why you continue to defend this Morsi, and are sending millions of dollars in military equipment to him?”

“The people want the downfall of the regime!” they chanted, according to AFP.

Egyptian protesters on Friday stormed a regional government headquarters and clashed with police, as mass rallies shook the country on the second anniversary of an uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak and ushered in Islamic rule.

Emergency services said, according to an AFP report, that more than 100 people were injured in Friday’s clashes, in which planned demonstrations turned violent as protesters attacked a Muslim Brotherhood headquarters and police repelled surging rallies with tear gas.

The security services fired the gas canisters in various locations across Cairo, including outside the presidential palace, at protesters who blocked off main roads in their tens of thousands.

The unrest came on the second anniversary of a revolution that brought Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood, to power, and a day after clashes between protesters and police on the eve of the occasion.

AFP reported that protesters stormed the governorate headquarters in the canal city of Ismailiya, entering the building, setting fire to a room used by security services and looting furniture and equipment.
