Breaking news: Egypt Coup d'état, Morsy overthrown.

Recommended Posts

The head of the Egyptian army has appeared live on television, announcing the suspension of the constitution.

 

General Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi, flanked by religious and military leaders, said the chief justice of constitutional court would take the powers of the presidency.

 

His announcement means President Mohammed Morsi is no longer in power.

 

Anti-Morsi protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square gave out a huge cheer in response to the speech.

 

The move follows four days of mass street protests against Mr Morsi, and an ultimatum issued by the military which expired on Wednesday afternoon.

 

The current whereabouts of Mr Morsi are unknown.

^Ain't no jobs - what else to do but work your frustrations out with a good ol protest.

 

Early elections in 1 year - and what if the MB comes back strong again? Will the military take over again?

One wonders if Morsy/MB were not the helm, would these people be out there protesting? Is it about bad economy or resent on Islamism that fueling these protests?

^Good question. Sorta reminds me of Iran's Mossadegh - ppl whipped up and manipulated to overthrow someone they just elected overwhelmingly 1 year ago. It doesn't matter tho - MB will be contesting the elections anyway. The military can't do away with that.

 

Marksman - it doesn't work like that. You wait for elections to voice your desire for change. But I blame the military for this. All the violent protests racking Greece, Spain etc didn't lead to a military coup masquerading as supporting the people's desires.
