Faced with the threat of a crackdown on supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, diplomacy appeared to pick up pace, a month to the day since Egypt's army deposed Morsi and plunged the country into turmoil. Recognising for the first time the strength of popular protest against his one-year rule, Morsi's allies said on Saturday they respected the demands of millions who took to the streets before his overthrow. Also on Saturday, interim Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy offered an "open invitation" for all groups to take part in a road map for reconciliation but first called for an end to violence. His comments came as Egyptian police called on supporters Morsi to abandon their protest sit-ins, saying it would pave the way for his Muslim Brotherhood to return to a normal role in the country's political process. However, Morsi's backers have vowed to continue protesting until he's reinstated Speaking at a round table meeting with journalists at the foreign ministry, Fahmy  said: "We cannot truly achieve reconciliation, no matter how hard we try, if there is a continuation of incitement of violence or a continuation of violence out on the street." Meanwhile, backers of Morsi on Saturday carried on with their weeks-long rallies in two encampments in Cairo. Tarek El-Malt, a spokesperson for the pro-Morsi bloc, said on Saturday his group wanted a solution that would "respect all popular desires", while rejecting any role for the army chief Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who led the overthrow of Morsi, in any political deal. El-Malt said that these messages have been given at talks on Saturday in Cairo with US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and European Union envoy Bernadino Leon. 'Turning backs on Egyptians' Army chief Sisi, meanwhile, urged the US to use its leverage over the Muslim Brotherhood to end a political crisis that has killed scores over the past month. He also told the Washington Post newspaper on Saturday that he did not "aspire for authority". Sisi, in that interview, also accused US President Barack Obama’s administration of failing to properly support Egypt, despite the threats of civil war. "You left the Egyptians. You turned your back on the Egyptians, and they won't forget that," Sisi was quoted as saying. "Now you want to continue turning your backs on Egyptians?" Washington, for its part, said that US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel had spoken to Sisi over the phone and urged him to support an inclusive political process. "General al-Sisi assured Secretary Hagel that Egyptian authorities were working toward a process of political reconciliation," Pentagon spokesman George Little said. "General al-Sisi affirmed to Secretary Hagel that Egypt's leadership remains committed to the political roadmap leading to elections and the formation of a constitution in Egypt." The US has walked a delicate line on Egypt, opting against labeling Morsi's removal a "coup". On Thursday, John Kerry, the US Secretary of State said Egyptian military was "restoring democracy" in ousting Morsi, the strongest US show of support to the Egyptian army since July 3. Kerry still maintained that all parties needed to work toward a peaceful and "inclusive" political resolution of the crisis. Already more than 280 people have been killed in violence since Morsi was deposed. The bloodiest incident took place last week, when more than 80 pro-Morsi supporters were killed in clashes with police near the sit-in at Rabaah al-Adawiya Mosque, a key protest site in Cairo.
