Morsi means more sick.

The revolution in Egypt which brought down the Mubarak government was secular but had no real leader. The Muslim Brotherhood took advantage of the vacuum and won the election to parliament. One third of seats in parliament were reserved for individual candidates, instead of party lists, and which they promised not to contest but surreptitiously put up their candidates as independents and won 100 of 235 seats. The election of those seats was annulled by the Supreme Constitutional Court which annulled the entire parliament. The Brotherhood promised not to contest the Presidential election but put up Mohamed Morsi who won easily. To bypass the courts Morsi took over all powers by decree in December and got a new constitution written in haste which was passed by a referendum. The Muslim Brotherhood was winning all the battles easily and it seemed that they would rule Egypt for a long time to come. This has naturally created enormous mistrust in a large portion of the people. On 1 February 2012, 72 fans of El Ahly football club were killed during a match with Port Said's Masry club in Port Said. On 26 January 2013, 21 of 75 Port Said fans were sentenced to death for their part in the riots last year. The families of the convicted men went on the rampage which spread to the whole town.  Two policemen were killed. When the new Interior Minister went to attend the funeral police officers cursed him and chased him away. Morsi declared a one month emergency in Port Said, Suez and Ismailia and curfew starting every evening at 9 pm. This provoked the protesters and huge protests took place just as the curfew started. People of Port Said did not vote for Morsi in both rounds of the election and blame him for the death sentences. Meanwhile In Cairo protesters managed to steal a police armored vehicle on 28 January and made a bonfire of it. On 1 February protesters hurled firebombs inside the Presidential Palace setting a gatehouse on fire. The police response has been inept and brutal. The police have barricaded themselves inside police stations and have been shooting back at protesters. Yesterday a video of a middle aged man being stripped and beaten by the police before being loaded onto a black police vehicle went viral on the internet. The man was shown on TV saying that the police were trying to save him but his family has rejected this view saying that he was coerced. Morsi said," We stress that such violent practices hive nothing to do with the principles of the revolution or legitimate means of expression." The people understand that their revolution was hijacked by the Brotherhood and it has no intention to be truly democratic. Morsi is never going to resign and the Brotherhood sees immense power in the future as Syria falls to it followed by Jordan and then maybe the oil rich gulf states. We enjoy. the fun.
