Unrest in Egypt

In a televised speech July 3, Egyptian army chief Abdul Fatah el-Sisi told millions of Egyptians that the military had removed democratically-elected President Mohamed Morsi. The move was welcomed by millions of Egyptians who had taken to the streets to protest the divisive, one-year rule of the Islamist president, who, critics said, exploited his position to simply consolidate the power of his Muslim Brotherhood.
The post ouster clashes between supporters of the two camps killed dozens, polarizing Egyptian society. Thenew rulers have cracked down on dissent so harshly that many say the Egyptian revolution has come full circle since the ousting of lHosni Mubarak in  2011.
