With less than 24
hours left before the
military's ultimatum
to Egyptian President
Mohammed Morsi
comes into effect,
various political
factions from the
Muslim Brotherhood,
members of the
opposition and the
military are
scrambling to secure influence before the end of the army's 48-hour deadline.
Military sources leaked to Reuters a draft of the military's "political roadmap,"
which reportedly may involve the suspension of the constitution, the
dissolution of the Islamist-dominated parliament and rule by an interim
governing council until new elections can be held. The leak is most likely
intended to test public reaction and see if the plan is a palatable solution for
Egypt's competing political forces. Going forward, the military will continue
attempting to satisfy all sides, including the Brotherhood, as it seeks to bring
calm and order back to the country.
