With the sacking of Egypt’s army chief, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawy, the Muslim Brotherhood has established near-full control over the country – effectively creating the Islamic Republic of Egypt.
Morsy, Egypt’s leader, yesterday sacked all of Egypt’s top generals and members of the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, in an unexpected move. Additionally, Morsy cancelled the constitutional declaration which was aimed at curbing his presidential powers, and gave SCAF unprecedented powers.
So what is wrong? Isn’t this finally allowing Egypt to enter a new phase – a phase free of military intervention?
