CAIRO — Egypt remained divided Sunday over a constitutional decree issued by President Mohammed Morsi that grants him sweeping powers, a move that brought protesters out on the streets again as the nation undergoes a deeply polarized political transition.
"We are all shocked," said Mohamed Abou El-Ghar, president of the liberal Egyptian Social Democratic Party who joined other leaders in uniting against Morsi's recent action. "Actually the whole of Egypt is divided, and the country is at a standstill."
