Egypt's army ousts President Mursi

(Vatican Radio) Egypt's army was holding President Mohamed Mursi at a military facility in Cairo on Thursday after he was ousted from power. Army intervention was backed by millions of Egyptians, including liberal leaders and religious figures who expect new elections under a revised set of rules.
At least 14 people were killed and hundreds wounded in street clashes during protests.
The constitution has been suspended and the head of the constitutional court is expected to be sworn in as interim leader.
Speaking to Lydia O’Kane, resident scholar Michael Rubin from the American Enterprise Institute said the Egyptian people have seen the country sink further into decline.
“ In his year in power Mohamed Mursi has done very little to rectify the economy and has instead focused on more social issues which many Egyptians don’t really care for”.
He also says that there is a growing realization in the region that “democracy simply isn’t majority rule, that there has to be compromise there has to be accountability.” Listen to Lydia O’Kane’s interview with Michael Rubin
