The Egyptian military has suspended the country’s constitution and named
the chief of the Supreme Constitutional Court as head of state after
informing Mohammed Morsi that he is no longer president.
Gen. Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, Egypt’s defense minister, announced the plan
while surrounded by opposition leader and former IAEA chief Mohamed el-
Baradei, Muslim leader Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb, and Coptic Christian leader
Pope Tawadros II. The inclusion of Tawadros may indicate plans to protect
Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority, which was persecuted relentlessly by
Islamists under Morsi’s government.
The plan dissolves the legislature and places Supreme Constitutional Court
chief justice Adly Mansour as the head of the interim government until new
elections can be held. A technocratic government will be put in place,
according to el-Sisi.
The military’s roadmap also includes a plan to amend the constitution and
hold parliamentary elections soon, though a specific date was not announced.
El-Sisi indidicated that the military will not tolerate violence in upcoming
days and will respond forcibly to any violent outbreaks. |
