Morsi and deputy arrested by the military

Morsi and deputy arrested by the military

The Egyptian military's coup ousting the elected president, Mohamed Morsi from power was announced on State television by head of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. The general was picked by Morsi to head the military after he came to power last year. Sisi said he would implement his own roadmap after ousting the president. He has suspended the constitution, dismissed the parliament and asked Adly Mohamed Mansour, head of the High Constitutional Court (HCC) to take over as interim president until fresh elections are held. The army is already talking in terms of a one-year transition that could easily stretch into many years. The Saudi tribal regime and king sent a message congratulating the new president!
