Egypt’s military ousts Morsi

Morocco World News with agencies New York, July 3, 2013 Egypt’s military decided to oust Mohammed Morsi from his post as President of the country. The move came more than 48 hours after the ultimatum issues by  the military in which it requested  that the now-ousted president meet the demands of the protesters. Earlier on Wednesday, the army said a roadmap for Egypt's political future will be unveiled at around 1930 GMT, according to AFP.  State media reported that the plan sets a tight schedule for new elections. State television said opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei and the heads of the Coptic Church and Al-Azhar -- Sunni Islam's highest seat of learning --  would present the roadmap for the country's future after President Mohamed Morsi. Immediately after Morsi’s official ouster, the head of Al Azhar issues a statement in which he supported the Army chef’s move to call for early elections to allow the Egyptian people to elect their new leader. ElBaradei, Pope Tawadros II and Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayyeb had been in talks with the military over the transition from the rule of the Islamist president, according to AFP.
