Demonstrators flocked to the sit-in at Cairo's Rabaa al-Adaweya Mosque on Thursday ahead of a million-man demonstration on Friday in favour of Egypt's deposed president Mohammed Morsi. Protesters, brought together by the National Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy, are expected to call for Morsi's reinstatement and a reversal of what they described as a 'military coup' against democracy. Hailing from different cities, many joined the sit-in at the mosque on Thursday. They broke their fast on the second day of the holy month of Ramadan at the mosque, fearing that they may not be able to return to the demonstrations if left. Several planned marches are expected to gather on Friday at Rabba al-Adaweya Mosque in Cairo and Nahda Square in Giza as well as Shubra al-Kheima and Moneeb areas. Activists will then march to the presidential palace, the Republican Guard headquarters and the Ministry of Defence. The state news agency correspondent reported that the demonstrators at Rabaa hung a new banner that had the colours of the Egyptian flag and read: "Democracy against military coup." They also put up several banners carrying Morsi's pictures and Egypt's flag all over the square. The demonstrators placed posters in various languages, including English and French, to acquaint foreign media reporters with the demands of peaceful, pro-legitimacy supporters.
