Yet worlds divide the Egyptians who have been gathering at the two sites in recent days. In Tahrir Square on Tuesday, people were selling posters of the country’s new strongman, General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who toppled then-President Mohammed Morsi last week.

They are the followers of the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement — and they have vowed not to vacate their tent city until Morsi is back in office.”
