Egypt’s National Defense Council said it may declare a state of emergency and a curfew after dozens of people died in violence between protesters and police two years after the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
The council, which is headed by President Mohamed Mursi and includes the ministries of Defense and Interior, called for national dialogue among politicians to end the crisis, Information Minister Salah Abdel-Maqsoud said on state television.
