U.S. eases away from Morsi

 
Quote
The U.S. Government Wednesday panned Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's most recent speech to the Egyptian people, saying the address fell short of detailing the reforms the Egyptian leader needed to promise to quell massive street protests.

State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. "felt there was an absence of significant, specific steps" in Morsi's Tuesday night speech. "Unfortunately, that was not a part of what he talked about in his speech.....There's more that he needs to do," she added during a daily briefing for reporters.

From Politico about as close to White House comment.  I see no events are scheduled today for prez. After a big trip he always takes a few days off.

Factoid:  Muslim Brotherhood was BANNED in Egypt in 1954 (assassination plans against then Pres. Nasser); they have been active again ONLY in the last two and one half years.  Hated by the generally secular population.

Giving me chills... if only all the middle east would assert their rights for freedom freedom and get out from the Moulas.

New Tunisian protest movement takes cue from Egypt

Quote
(Reuters) - Tunisian opposition activists have launched their own version of Egypt's Tamarud protest movement, whose campaign to remove President Mohamed Mursi drew millions onto the streets and led to an army ultimatum for the Islamist leader to share power.

The youthful, little known leaders of Tunisian Tamarud (Rebel) hope to galvanise opposition to their own Islamist-led government which, like Mursi, came to power after an uprising in 2011 swept an autocratic leader from office.

Like its Egyptian namesake, the Tunisian group accuses the Islamists of trying to usher in a religious state that smothers personal freedoms and failing to drag the economy out of crisis.

Its members said they planned to call for mass protests after quickly gathering the signatures of about 200,000 people opposing the government.

That is a fraction of the 22 million signatures their Egyptian counterparts said they collected

The anti-Morsi crowds are roaring, reports ABC's Alex Marquardt (@Marquardta). The assumption is that President Morsi’s done after just one year and four days. The head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Armed Forces, General Sisi, said the constitution is dissolved and the head of the constitutional court will take charge. Sisi also called for a technocratic non-partisan government and a committee to study changes to the suspended constitution.  Sisi made no suggestion that President Morsi will stick around for a transitional period.


But it’s very hard to imagine the Brotherhood will go away quietly.  After all, President Morsi told us last night that he rejected the ultimatum and is the legitimate leader. Stay tuned.

21:50 The official website of the Muslim Brotherhood, Ikhwan Online, writes that the military’s announcement is a "conspiracy against legitimacy, a military coup that wastes popular will and brings Egypt back to despotism."

    The statement continued: "Religious scholars condemn the coup and affirm the necessity of upholding the elected president. Symbols of the defunct regime are coming back to the scene at the expense of the blood of the martyrs of the 25 January."

    The statement also claimed that "millions in many squares in Egypt have started a sit-in in support of legitimacy."

The website also reported that armed forces, deployed a few hours ago around Rabaa Al-Adawiya Mosque, are personally searching everyone getting into the pro-Morsi sit-in and preventing people from chanting in support of Morsi except after they’re inside the square.

21:34 The head of Egypt's High Constitutional Court, the most senior Egyptian court, is Adly Mansour. He was promoted to the position in June.

21:32 Attendees at the press conference where El-Sisi gave his speech included a number of top military and police officials who sat in two rows on either side of the podium; the Coptic Orthodox patriarch Tawadros II; the grand imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed El-Tayyeb; ElBaradei; a representative of Nour Party; Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, one of the anti-Morsi Rebel campaign's founders; and a senior judicial figure.

21:30 Liberal politician Mohamed ElBaradei spoke at the army-held press conference. He says the roadmap drawn up by the military will guarantee the fulfillment of Egyptians' main demand – early presidential elections.

    "I hope that will mark the beginning of a new era for the 2011 January revolution," he added.

21:28 The grand sheikh of Al-Azhar said that he supported the call for early presidential elections based on an Islamic precept that the better of two evils is a religious duty,. Accordingly, those gathered decided to hold early presidential elections, their fairness guaranteed by the judiciary, the armed forces and the police.

21:25 The Brotherhood's FJP just tweeted "history will tell that the first decision of the military coup, in which the advocates of democracy participated, is putting off air all opposition channels," a reference to the Brotherhood's channel and other Islamist owned channels being blacked out after El-Sisi's announcement.

21:22 At the press conference where El-Sisi spoke a few moments ago, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Ahmed El-Tayyeb, is speaking, followed by Coptic Orthodox Patriarch Tawadros II.

21:20 It looks like several other Islamist-run channels including Hafez and Al-Nas are off air.

21:18 The Morsi supporters in their thousands at Rabaa Al-Adawiya are defiant.

The MB not going away anytime soon it looks like!
