In the midst of massive anti-government protests, Egypt’s military has given President Mohammed Morsi‘s administration 48 hours to resolve the disagreements between the government and demonstrators before the military forces a transition. If agreements are not reached by Wednesday, Defense Minister Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sissi says that “the Armed Forces will announce a road-map for the future” to be created “with the participation of all political and national streams[.]” Protestors accuse Morsi of not sharing power with political opposition groups, while many Egyptians blame him for the country’s economic and security problems.

On Monday, demonstrators stormed the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group that back’s Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party. Demonstrators are also calling for labor strikes and sit-ins at the Cabinet building, the interim parliament and one of the presidential sites where Morsi has been working. Supporters of Morsi have accused loyalists of ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak of orchestrating the demonstrations.
