Egypt becoming a nightmare for Muslim Brothers
Apr. 2, 2013 -
- The Muslim Brotherhood who had won a sweeping victory in the first free parliamentary elections and got their candidate elected president
have bitterly disappointed the people who had put their faith in them.
Civil war could result from the serious dissatisfaction of Egyptian citizens who are calling for President Morsi, the Brotherhood, and their new
Islamic constitution to be replaced. The economy is in shambles and civil disobedience is rampant. It is clear that Morsi and the Brotherhood will not
give up their hold on the government. Analysts believe that the army will step in before it reaches that point. If it comes to that, they
will try to install a civilian regime that would be accepted by all.
