Protests Against Egypt's President Escalate, Governments Warn Against Travel to Cairo (VIDEO)

As protests against Egypt's first democratically elected president escalate, United States and European governments have warned citizens to steer clear of Cairo, where millions of demonstrators and government officials have engaged in curbside clashes around the country.

After Egyptians overthrew a 29-year long dictatorship during the Arab Spring revolution of 2011, President Mohamed Morsy became leader of the country.

But now, citizens have grown dissatisfied with his alleged failure to address issues concerning the slumping economy and slackened security, according to the BBC.

A nation broken by disagreement, Egypt has seen scores of residents pouring into the streets, from Cairo to Suez, Sharqia to El Monofia and back to Gharbiya. Most of the protests begin peacefully, but do not end that way: over 20 people have died in the past four days, according to CNN. More than 780 were wounded in protests on Sunday and Monday.

The opposition claims that Morsy's legislation is to blame for a breakdown in the law enforcement sector, along with a crumbling economy fostered by shortages of natural oil.

Those that support Mory say that the president was elected by the people- he gained 13 million votes fairly, and the system passed down to him was inherently broken. It will surely take some time for him to fix it, they assert.

On Monday, the "rebel" campaign known as Tamarod posted on its official Facebook that their body has demanded President Morsy resign from his post in office by Tuesday. If not, they say, the group will begin a movement of civil disobedience, threatening to incite rallies nationwide, including a march on the presidential palace where Morsy's cabinet works.

As the international community watches Egypt descend back into violence and unrest, some nations worry for travelers' safety.

The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office publicized a warning against all travel to the Governorate of North Sinai, according to CNN.

The American government rushed a few "non-emergency employees and family members" out of the country on the weekend.

Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade told its citizens to observe a "high degree of caution in Egypt due to the risk of civil unrest and the threat of terrorist attack."

Canada and the Netherlands have issued similar warnings: the European country advised residents to "consider taking the initiative to leave the country."
