No official estimates exist on the numbers of civilians killed by the military during crackdowns after the coup against Morsi. It is estimated that between 1,000 – 8,000 people have been detained and multitudes more have been killed. Understandably, large scale protests associated with the start of the Egyptian revolution have fallen by the wayside.
With such extreme crackdowns and an inability to protest, it is not that much of a surprise that violence and assassinations in Egypt are starting to soar, presenting a growing risk of civil war.
