The Muslim Brotherhood has canceled Cairo protests scheduled for Sunday afternoon, saying that the Egyptian army has placed snipers on building rooftops, Al Jazeera reported.

According to the report, a press conference meant to place on Sunday evening has also been cancelled.

This announcement was made shortly after Egypt’s army chief, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, told military and police officers on Sunday that his message to the supporters of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi is that “there is room for everyone in Egypt”.
