None
Egypt's leaders must act now to pull their country "back from the brink," US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Saturday, saying Egypt was at a pivotal moment after scores of protesters were killed in the last day.
The top US diplomat said he had spoken to two senior officials of Egypt's interim government - Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei and Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy - to voice "deep concern about the bloodshed and violence in Cairo and Alexandria over the past 24 hours that has claimed the lives of scores of Egyptian demonstrators and injured more than 1,000 people."
