All hail the new Pharoah of Egypt - Mohammed ElBaradei
When democracy doesn't deliver the western friendly face that the people should have voted for, ofcourse he should be appointed after a coup.
Mohammed ElBaradei was the darling face for the western media who would have loved for him to win last years presidential elections to complete a fairytale story. The only problem was that he was little known inside egypt and his bid to become president failed spectacularly.
Now, that is not a problem as he doesn't need to win any popular vote to be appointed Prime Minister. All he has to do is utter a few spineless words. Words supporting the army, condemning the Muslim Brotherhood for "plotting" before the coup. (Plotting what? support for legitimacy).
Farewell to Morsi, the President elect of Egypt
The Egyptian president has fallen, forced out through a combination of mass protest and the military.
I wonder if the people on the street even realise that they have been played by the old guard.
Morsi, from the Muslim Brotherhood, had a tough reign in power, elected only a year ago.
Powerless President
When before the elections it looked like there was a possibility that a Muslim Brotherhood candidate might win, the military had made a decree removing the powers of the president, in essense making him a puppet. Even then they were forced to allow him to be president by the people who at the time did not want a member of the old regime to already subvert the revolution.
