Nationwide Demonstrations Call for President Morsi's Ouster

Millions Protest in Egypt

CAIRO—Millions of Egyptians took to the streets on Sunday for nationwide protests against President Mohammed Morsi, presenting a massive popular opposition that rivaled the size of demonstrations that toppled President Hosni Mubarak more than two years ago.

By early evening in the country's capital, protesters marched through streets that were almost empty of cars. Shops and restaurants throughout Cairo remained closed as many Egyptians hunkered down amid expectations of violence.

Cairo's streets were filled with the sounds of honking horns and chants against Mr. Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood organization that had brought him to power.

Though the protests remained largely peaceful, Egypt's state news agency reported that one person had died and 35 were injured in the Nile Delta city of Beni Suef during clashes between pro- and anti-Morsi demonstrators.
