With his profile soaring in the wake of a successful Gaza ceasefire, President Mohamed Morsi issued an edict declaring himself to have limitless power until a new constitution was put in place.
What followed were weeks of protests from a growing collection of opposition blocs, and a seemingly happy ending when Morsi yesterday withdrew the edict. Bizarrely, opposition leadership, apparently encouraged by their ability to draw a crowd, condemned Morsi for doing exactly what they have demanded, saying it was unacceptable, and calling for yet more protests.
At least they’re hoping for more protests. The average person on the street knew why “all-power president” was a bad thing. Wrapping their heads around the new claim that the withdrawal is also somehow bad is confusing many, leaving a lot of the opposition’s support unsure whether they’re protesting anymore, or why.
Opposition leaders say that withdrawing the edict is a trick attempted to distract from the “real goals,” and say the public needs to continue to protest against “a president who ignores his people.”
A lot of the opposition leaders are objecting to the referendum next weekend on the constitution, but there’s nowhere near unity on opposing it, and there seems a good bet the vote could pass. Some of them are hoping the protests could force a delay or cancellation of the vote, but this is at best peripherally related to the fight over Morsi in the first place, and with a lot of demonstrators not opposed to the referendum as such, keeping rallies in the streets is going to take some doing.
These regimes are the chosen one by the west, they did the same thing during and after Yugoslavian war, west used the sunny Muslims then, so did Hitler during the second world war, now they are doing it again in countries like Egypt, wanting to change the Syrian government by forcing their regimes as Morris the morsi in Egypt and a lookalike in Syria.
This is the best policy that west have and can offer, because there is no such thing as a functioning democracy existed in either part of the western politics, at home nor toward nations in Middle East, they either been engaged in orchestrating wars upon the people or wanting to replace a system after another, depending on what they could get in return.
What is happening in Middle East and northern African countries is yet another sick foreign policies orchestrated by the west, protecting their long time tyrants investment as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and others alike wanting to fool people in form of a religion dividing the people's unity.., people are no longer fooled by such politics, therefor, Syrian people are at war defeating these barbarians and other root of dictatorship planted in Syria by the west hegemony. Yankee go home, you don't belong here now, then nor you ever were.
They are just trying to make trouble and prevent the president from doing anything to implement what the majority of the people want.
all i know is the MSM is backing morsi. think iran, syria if u want to know what disapprovaldemonisation is like in the MSM.
obviously, more time is required for the various opposition groups to campaign on the referendum, and no doubt they will be disadvantaged when it comes to egyptian media coverage. as for the egyptians who rely on BBC World Service, they will be the most disinformed of all, with BBC describing Morsi's supporters as "grassroots", which sounds like they are framing the referendum result in advance. don't let your revolution fail, egyptians.
"all i know is the MSM is backing morsi"
And you figured this how ?
