FILE - In this May 8, 2014 file photo, Egypt's ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi sits in a defendant cage in the Police Academy courthouse in Cairo, Egypt. Morsi’s collapse and death in a Cairo courtroom on June 17, 2019, was a brief rallying point for the Muslim Brotherhood whose influence waned dramatically in the Middle East since the 2013 military coup in Egypt which had widespread public support at the time. The long-running enmity between the Brotherhood and most Sunni-led governments highlights the deep divisions among Sunni Muslims. It adds a further complication to the volatile region, where the split between Sunnis and Shiite Muslims has created rival camps. (AP Photo/Tarek el-Gabbas, File)
