Egypt protest group gives President Morsi ultimatum - Polidicks

[QUOTE] An Egyptian opposition movement that has led nationwide protests against President Mohammed Morsi has given him until Tuesday to resign. A statement issued by Tamarud (Rebel) said Mr Morsi would face a campaign of civil disobedience if he did not leave power and allow elections to be held. The group said it had collected more than 22 million signatures in support. The crowds seen in Tahrir Square in the capital, Cairo, on Sunday were the biggest since the 2011 revolution.

Perhaps some Egyptians need to learn that under democracy you can't always have everything your way. I'll retract that statement if Morsi has done some bad shit like human rights violations, but so far I haven't heard anything like that.

His police forces and government have been more resilient than his predecessor's and his police forces commit widespread abuses. There is also insecurity in the country, with organized crime lynching people in public.

lol the last guy, a corrupt fuck was better than him

Didn't he also go "don't worry guys we're totally not conservative" to get votes and then, you know.

Considering the shithole the previous president left the country in, I doubt the next guy to come would be able to solve the problems in a year's time.

[quote] ElBaradei - an opposition leader and former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency - complains about the lack of law and order in Egypt. He conveniently ignores the fact that Egypt has suffered from a general lawlessness that began once the uprising against Hosni Mubarak ended, and well before Morsi's term began. [B]Also, the current government does not have complete control over corrupt, Mubarak-era security forces - many of whom have been protesting against Morsi and striking in recent months - and analysts have noted that purging Egypt of Mubarak's "deep state" will take years.[/B] He also disregards the fact that elements in Egypt's opposition are responsible for much of the organised violence witnessed recently in Egypt. The presidential palace was repeatedly firebombed last December, and other government buildings, 30 Muslim Brotherhood offices, and four Muslim Brotherhood buses, among other things, have been set ablaze.[/quote]
