Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian demonstrators gather outside the presidential palace in Cairo during a protest calling for the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi on June 30, 2013.
The people of Egypt are out in full force today to protest against President Mohamed Morsi, whom many believe has lost his legitimacy after becoming the country's first democratically elected president.
A sea of bodies formed in front of the presidential palace as the sun set. 
A military source told AFP that "millions" of protesters took to the streets. "It is the biggest protest in Egypt's history."
Opposition leaders are calling for the resignation of the Muslim Brotherhood leader, the dissolution of Egypt's Islamist-dominated elected parliament, and the shelving of Islamist-drafted constitution to set up a new round of elections and a new constitution.
