Although in his recent speech on the anniversary of his empowerment, Mohammad Morsi tried to stop the protests from a peak by vows of bringing change in the government and reviewing the new constitution as well as threats of asking for help from the army to confront the unrests, these promises proved to be ineffective and the protesters are still continuing their million presence in Tahrir Square.

Amid these protests the supporters of Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood have also rushed into the streets, a fact that has alarmed all against outbreak of a civil war. Al Azhar religious center has issued a statement to warn against a civil war and announcing both sides as the losers of this war.
This is while some Egyptian scholars have also issued a statement to forbid a civil war in the country.
These reactions, besides the new announcement in some western countries, particularly the US, banning any trip to Egypt and withdrawal of its diplomats, clearly show the concerning situation in a restive Egypt.
A look at the domestic situation in Egypt shows that the same gap that used to distance the pro and anti-Mubarak regime has been substituted by its kind between the revolutionary and opposition forces.
In this confrontation, Muslim Brotherhood stands against the members of National Salvation Front including liberal figures like Mohammad ElBaradei, Amr Mousa or nationalists like Hamdeen Sabahi. Previously Al Nour Salafi Party (“Party of The Light”) and the liberal El-Ghad Party (The Tomorrow Party) led by Ayman Nour were beside Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi government who have changed their position in favor of the opposition forces during the uprisings. This is proof that time has not passed in favor of Morsi government and this is a fact about which the opposition forces criticize Morsi government for.
But the important question is that what is the role of those affiliated with Mubarak regime?
There is not a clear proof for that but it is also likely that they have hide behind the opposition forces and attack the government and Muslim Brotherhood under the disguise of opposition forces and provoke them to take counter measures against the protesters.
Therefore, it seems that the survivors of Mubarak regime, in a quite professional level, are following the policy of division and are in ambush to take the control after the two sides are weakened in an attrition process.
Based on that it can be said that Egyptian revolutionaries are involved in a lose-lose game whose sole winners are the survivors of former regime, particularly at present when the coalition of western, Zionists and Arabs, who have failed to topple the Syrian regime and balance the power in the region, have to either bring the current Egyptian government in line with their policies or empower another Mubarak to fill the absence of former ruler for them.
