People who say, a coup is the lesser evil haven't read history. Nigerians can attest to that. The military is back in control. 1 Like |

Ola one: There is no such thing as 'true democracy', each country forge their type of democracy. If Iranians call theirs a democracy, another country can't challenge it Example: Some 18 yr olds can vote in some democracies and some can't in others. 2 Likes |

In democracy, the only legit way to remove your president is through elections. Your vote is your weapon, they say. Why some learned NLanders are in support of this arbitrariness is not clear to me. This is a bad precedent for budding democracies around the world. |

dare2think:So having a supreme leader who wields even more power than elected leaders is okay and fundamental to democratic norms? |

Re: Egyptian Army Overthrows President Morsi by dare2think: 10:40pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
Ola one: That is my point with you, democratic norms vary from country to country. Iran still possess some basic elements of democracy, I.e people will vote for a candidate of their choice etc. Hence, it can still be classified, subjectively, as a democracy, regardless of the Supreme Ayatollah. America called itself a democracy in a period when black people were not allowed to vote. There is no proper, universally accepted definition of a democracy. 4 Likes |

military coup? that ain't cool at all |
Re: Egyptian Army Overthrows President Morsi by Nobody: 10:43pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
Ola one: I had a good laugh. As long as there is regular free, fair and credible election, democracy has been defined more than 60%. The rest are just peculiarities of the environment where such democracy is being practiced. |

Dictatorship all over again!! Interior Minister closes pro-Morsy channels In the first decision after President Mohamed Morsy's ouster, Egyptian Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim on Wednesday shut down three main three main pro-Morsy channels. Al-Masry Al-Youm reported that the minister had taken the decision to close all "religious channels," namely the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Misr 25, the Salfi oriented Al-Nas and Al-Hafez channels. Al-Arabiya chanel quoted Gehad El-Haddad, Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson, as saying transmission of Misr 25 channel had stopped. The last images reportedly broadcast on Misr 25 were of the army statement that ultimately paved the way for its closure. http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/interior-minister-closes-pro-morsy-channels |

Imagine, the military gave ultimatum to a democratically-elected government. I believe in secularism, but, if that's what majority of Egyptians wanted (Islam in government), as expressed through a free and fair election in their country, so be it. What is the essence of elections then? If an elected leader can be toppled so unceremoniously? There would be no organized government in the West if their military struck every time there was a protest/riot. 1 Like |

Prof Corruption: Some will argue that as long as people stand in front of a ballot box, it qualifies as a democracy. That's how some African leaders manage to stay in power for decades. Manipulation due to lack of proper definition. |

politician:You have echo the initial sentiment of the average eygptian.Morsi became the mubarak(dictator) that he fought against during the protest. The loyalist of mubarak will capitalize on the weakness and failure of morsi and the islamic brotherhood to get back to power.The military gave him a deadline but he could not overcome his arrogance to negiotiate with the aggreived populace of eygpt. |

No two constitutions are the same no matter how similar the countries are because every nation has its peculiarities |

dare2think:Maybe you need to tell me why the Labour Party rubbished her while in power |
Re: Egyptian Army Overthrows President Morsi by Nobody: 10:50pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
dare2think: No, no election is perfect but there's a principle of substantial compliance with electoral laws. Elections do not define democracy if they are not free, fair, credible and regular. We can call it civilian rule if there is civilian control of the military but it won't pass as democracy. |

Re: Egyptian Army Overthrows President Morsi by politician(m): 10:53pm On Jul 03, 2013 |
dare2think: according to this logic iran model involves a supremos ayatoullah as nec chairman... the egypt model includes the army as Part of the oppositions, and protests as a method of impeaching a constitutional elected official!! morsi lost his political legitimacy by alienating the people. after the spring, the average citizen just wanted to have a say. the opposition goofed, an OJORO announcement of his impeachment via the 20million signatures would have irked morsi. he would call their bluff and the military can come in. the issue would be.. army removes morsi after refusing to vacate office, not this coup. its a bad preceedent, and just Like the spring, it might spread to other countries. |
