However, Mr. Morsi went on to the national television to have a word with his people that they needed to be patient with him; acknowledging that there were challenges and he also made some mistakes but assured the people things were going to be better. Then the question becomes, did these angry people heed to his plea? Not really but ideally I think he needed to be pardon and allowed some time to improve. One year in office as the first democratically elected president is a sure bet that they will be challenges. Starting from the scratch, new constitution, and the rest all with someone with a PhD in Material Sciences not political science or good government called for thoughts.Nonetheless, these people already made their minds to take actions against the man and nothing to stop them. So exactly one year anniversary of his assumption to office; the people took to the streets to demonstrate with one word to the president “Resign”. They were violence of course between supporters of the President and the opponents. In less than s day over 16 lives were lost, and the president made it known to the people he wasn’t going to resign. Then the military came in with a 48 hour ultimatum to Mr. Morsi because the majority was against him and nothing could be done for that is how democracy works. They people have the power to seat and unseat you if they don’t like your performance. Majority rules is what it all cooked down to.
Now even with the military direct words with the President, he still remained adamant to resignation so they were counting down to the 48 hour ultimatum. Lo and behold when they time matured, the military deployed solders, tanks, amours of various assortments, fighter jet all over Cairo. By then Mr. Morsi was nowhere to be found –he was gone leaving power behind for self-security. At that point the head of the military General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi went on air to official pronounced Mr. Morsi overthrown with the constitution suspended and named the Chief Justice an Interim President, al-Masry al-Yom.
As I write this, Mr. Morsi is nowhere to be traced but there is jubilation on the streets of Egypt and all over simply because of the over thrown of their president.
