emocracyNow.org - Ongoing mass protests have led the Egyptian government to declare a state of emergency and the country's defense minister to warn of the potential "collapse of the state." We go to Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous in the city of Port Said, where thousands have filled the streets in defiance of a nighttime curfew. "[Egyptian President Mohamed] Morsi is trying to do what Mubarak did for so many years -- trying to use the police on the streets to solve his political problems," Kouddous says. "Right now, Egypt is ungovernable."
