The African Union announced Friday that it has suspended Egypt.
The AU's Peace and Security Council also said it was sending a team of "high-level personalities" to Egypt to work toward restoring constitutional order.
The moves, announced in separate tweets, come two days after the military overthrew the nation's first democratically elected president and on the same day that massive demonstrations -- some in favor and others in opposition to the coup -- were planned.
The Muslim Brotherhood is urging Mohamed Morsy supporters to take to the streets nationwide.
He and other leaders of the organization remain under arrest and may face charges over the deaths of protesters during clashes with Morsy's supporters, many of whom also died.
Islamist fringe groups have threatened armed retaliation for Morsy's overthrow. Police arrested four armed men Friday who allegedly planned a reprisal terrorist attack, state-run news service Al-Ahram reported.
Egypt's armed forces announced they would guarantee the rights of people to protest, including those who support Morsy, as long the protests resulted in neither violence nor destruction of property.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces also said it would protect all groups from revenge attacks.
Egyptian values "do not allow for gloating," it said.
But violence has continued unabated since protests broke out. On Thursday, more than 100 people were wounded and at least two people, believed to be children, were killed in clashes across the country, according to state media.
