Time’s Up. Egyptian President Morsi Ousted! Time’s 2012 Cover Was A Contrary Indicator . . .
Michael Matthew Bloomer, July 2, 2013
“As we closely monitored and followed the current crisis the command of the armed forces met with the President in the Presidential Palace on June 22, 2013 where it presented the opinion and rejection of the armed forces of any assault on the state institutions, religious and otherwise, and also the masses of the Egyptian people. Hopes were all pinned on national reconciliation under a roadmap for the future whereby confidence and stability are secured for the people living up to their aspirations and hopes.
Yet, the address of the President yesterday and before the expiry of the 48 hour ultimatum did not meet the demands of the masses of the people. As a result it was necessary for the Egyptian Armed Forces based on its historic and patriotic to consult with certain political and social figures without sidelining any party, where the meeting parties agreed upon a future roadmap plan which includes initial measures whereby a powerful Egyptian coherent Egyptian society is achieved without marginalizing any individual, political party, and putting an end to the state of division . . .”
