the saddest irony is that the Egyptians are supposedly celebrating d millitary coup!!
I pity them. they don't know that "millitary" is the antithesis of "democracy"

let's just hope that this doesn't spread down south to the rest of Africa. Nigeria has had enough of millitary rule.
In fact, Nigerians should stage a protest against millitary rule so that the army can get the message. We will not allow this to happen in Nigeria!!

Morsi and the failed Morse code....Instead of sending SOS, He sent LOL.

The military should have been patient to see how Morsi would have handled hings

Its good to see the Mohammedists are no longer in immediate control of the ship.
Time to say NO to that muslim brotherhood party APC in Nigeria.

Bt didnt dey overwhelmin vote for him? I can c west hand in dus. Dey are at d background spoilin show for d MB. If care is nt taken, another Syria or Iraq is in makin.
May God help us all sha.

This is the start of a very unstable era in egypt. That country will never be the same again. This sets a dangerous presidence, that a president elected with more than 50% of votes can be removed by protest not the ballot box? Is this egypt's definition of democracy? So if they elect a new president and a group don't like him, they can protest in a square and the army boots him and declare another election. Let's not forget the muslim brotherhood who have promised jihad so car bombs might soon be going off in cairo like in bagdad and kabul. What a shame. Egypt, a country once flourishing under mubarak now will be the most unstable country in the islamic world.

nt all of dem are celebratin. There are d anti Morsi at Tahrir square and pro Morsi at Nasr city in d same Cairo, bt trust western media nah, dey will only show d anti morsi. Double standard western media.
D Egyptians shld be careful.

Let's see what the US has to say about this. I thought Obama said it's going to cut off military aid to Egypt if this is done. Thank God most countries no longer take this hypocritical western nations seriously. Thumbs up Egypt for taking your destinies in your own hands.

They are obviously sick,they expect Morsi to repair in less than 2 years what Mubarack destroyed for decades.. Though Morsi had his shortcomings,but this move by the military is damn wrong..The 48hrs deadline given earlier was not feasible and they know that themselves..

Tinkin_guy: Even though am not in support of the Morsi guy and his unfriendly way of leading his people with numerous mistakes, what has happened there this evening is purely a coup d'etat by the military and should not be encouraged in any way.

There are other ways of going about this democratically. Democracy is of the will of the people and not by force via military power.

What's democracy? Where is democracy in the world? There's no clear cut evidence that democracy brings development. Development can come before or after democracy.

The issue at stake was an attempt by Muslim Brotherhood to monopolize power despite objections from broad spectrum of Egyptian society. He gave himself powers as in emergency powers above judicial oversight. He pushed a constitution with Islamic agenda through- not a bad thing though in a country of almost 90% Muslim faithfuls except Egypt was not ready to be Iran. A large number want Islam distinctly separated from state.

He has a mandate for four years but legitimacy can easily be lost. Legitimacy is not an exclusive preserve of democratic product. Military regimes do earn legitimacy if their actions are sanctioned by overwhelming majority of the people.

They issued an ultimatum yesterday and struck today. What a hasty power hungry military.

Egypt's Morsi ousted, Cairo explodes in fireworks

President Mohamed Morsi has been stripped of his power by the Egyptian army and the constitution has been suspended, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said in a statement. Egypt's chief justice of the constitutional court will become the interim president. Fireworks were set off over Cairo's Tahrir Square and across the city in celebration.

Ds can neva hapn in nja.
Who want to die?

Serious Gbege for Egypt oo

At least now my colleague can come back to his job.
Imagine a married man took 1yr leave without pay just to go and protest in Cairo.

If na Nigeria man, e go tell you say:
I get wife,
School fees dey to pay
I need to feed family
What if I lose this job?

its a coup, but morsi could av avoided it, now too late for him, dey already av an interim govt in place that will determine when d new election will take place....i salute dis egyptian,staying true to what they believe, see jubilation

People should know this Government was deposed with the backing of the people.
This protest was on a far larger scale than that of Mubarak's era.

Shows the danger of a revolution without choosing a consensus candidate, the strongest opposition group seized the limelight and here they are today.

kkkp: For me dis is nt far frm over..dis is d beginin of dere problems..Egypt may bcum anoda Syria

Far frm it.. I dont thnk so. If u had bn following this incident, you knw that it's the pple choice...The military had to do what they did cos its just the timely and the ideal thing for them to do..I thnk their military is matured

CFCfan: The military should have been patient to see how Morsi would have handled hings

Come to think of it,he was given just 48hrs to restore normalcy.. When we all know that even 1 month is not enough to achieve that when those jobless Arrow assemble at tahir square

pistol: Revolution gone awry,
The egyptians are a confused lot.
The voted overwhelmingly for morsi and his muslim brotherhood.
Now they want him out when he has started implementing his parties hardcore fanatic ideology.

You just echoed my exact sentiments. When the Egyptians had the opportunity to do the right thing by picking a secularist, they played the religious card by installing Morsi, a member of a fanatic group that had been outlawed for well over sixty years. During the revolution, every Egyptian irrespective of their religion claimed oneness, but when it was time for elections, they choosed a Fanatic over a secularist (claiming he was a stooge of the millitary)...only to run back to the same millitary to help them execute an illegality. For as far as the rule of law is concerned, what happened this evening is illegal and the Egyptians have set a very bad precedence.

From today henceforth, the Muslim Brotherhood will officially become a terrorist organization; because they simply will not go down without a fight, not after they have tasted power for close to a year. The best solution would have been to extract some firm commitments from Morsi to carry out constitutional reforms (under which they could have weakened his powers) and then use the in coming parliament to impeach him. unfortunately, the deed has been done. The coptic Christians, moderates and secularists should not be deceived by all these because by the next election, all the old cracks will appear within the ranks of the opposition again. This just a circle and the ultimate beneficiary will be the Egyptian Millitary.

So hasty,the arab league may be involved,you never can say

who conducted the referendum upon which this ouster is based?

Backing of which people? How many percentage of Egyptians are we talking about?

Was there a referendum for the outster of the dictorial Mubarak?
The Percentage of protesters far outnumbers the one seen for Mubarak.
The people started getting cranky with the government's pursuit of their own Islamist intrest whilst the economy floundered. MB endorsement of jihdadi tourism for willing Egyptians got them concerned which they rebuked thinly.

Afterall who deals with the remnants of the battle hardened troublemakers when they come back.

Mubarak as great a leader as he was, was himself a military man and became head of state after his military boss died. Mubarak has never been voted for.

Morsi on the other hand was elected in an election by the egyptian people. these are two different things!

^^^
Mubarak was kicked out by people power.

Morsi was deposed because of a unanimous decision of the people backed by the military. Or what is the definition of democracy again?

Difference here is military stepped in to prevent anarchy.

Mubarak had no mandate!

Morsi has a mandate which can only be challenged through elections or referendum or court or Legislature!

I dont know what TV channel you watch but while there was an Anti-Morsi protest, there was equally a Pro-Morsi protest.

Just how did the Army come to the conclusion that their actions are in the interest of the MAJORITY?

What has happened here is a usurpation of the Egyptian constitution.
