Egypt's military gives Prez Morsi 48 hours to resolve crisis

July 01, 2013 22:18

In an ominous warning suggesting it may return to power, the Egyptian military said Monday that it would intervene in the next two days if President Mohamed Morsiand the opposition do not resolve the political crisis threatening the country's stability and economy.

The military statement was a clear signal to Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood party that the army is losing patience after months of unrest and economic turmoil. Such a move could threaten Egypt's young democracy and possibly lead to a return to martial law two years after the popular uprising that ousted the police state of Hosni Mubarak.
