Australia urges citizens to consider Egypt exit
The Australian government has increased its travel warning to Australians visiting Egypt amid extreme civil unrest in Cairo and other cities.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr raised the travel warning for Australians to the second-highest level: "reconsider your need to travel" after days of strife that have led to deadly clashes.
Tensions remain high in Egypt as an army ultimatum for president Mohammed Morsi to resolve the unrest approaches.
Anger has been growing against the president and the Muslim Brotherhood – the party from which he comes.
The BBC says protesters are angry at the lack of development in post-revolution Egypt – they accuse the Brotherhood of trying to protect itself own interests and of pushing an Islamist agenda.
Australia’s foreign minister advised: "Australians thinking of travelling to Egypt should postpone their trip, and those already there should consider departing."
The UK Foreign Office has warned that some demonstrators were reportedly hostile and suspicious of any foreigners present.
