穆尔西支持者不顾警告继续集会抗议

Thousands of Egyptians supporting ousted President Mohamed Morsi have gathered in Cairo, praying and celebrating Eid al-Fitr at protest camps despite government warnings to vacate the sites.

Opponents of Mr. Morsi also gathered Thursday in Cairo\'s Tahrir Square, a day after interim President Adly Mansour said efforts by international envoys to bridge Egypt\'s political divide had failed.

Mr. Mansour blamed Mr. Morsi\'s Muslim Brotherhood for the failure.

The United States and European Union voiced their concerns, saying the political divide has created a fragile situation that could spark more bloodshed.

In a joint statement late Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the two sides must break a "dangerous stalemate" and implement "tangible confidence building measures."

The diplomats said Egypt\'s government bears a special responsibility to begin a reconciliation process.

反对穆尔西的群众星期四也聚集在开罗的解放广场。

星期三，埃及临时总统曼苏尔表示，国际特使消除埃及政治分歧的努力已经失败，他指责被推翻总统穆尔西的穆斯林兄弟会要为斡旋失败负责。

与此同时，美国和欧盟对军方支持的埃及政府和伊斯兰主义反对派之间没有能够化解埃及的政治危机表示担忧。他们认为，这可能引起更多的流血，并妨碍埃及的经济复苏。

星期三傍晚，美国国务卿克里和欧盟外交政策负责人阿什顿在一份联合声明中说，埃及双方必须打破危险的僵局，采取实际措施建立互信。

克里国务卿和阿什顿表示，埃及政府担负着开启和解进程的特殊职责。
