Some
European governments are misled by wrong calls coming from biassed media in the
Middle East region. Those European governments are obsessed by the idea that
the army has come with a coup to oust ex-president Mohamed Morsi. The military
intervention happened responding to the loud voice of people when the Egyptians
took the streets in masses to aiming at removing the inefficient Islamic regime
which led the country to the unknown.
At the end of a 48-hour deadline given
by the Armed Forces to President Morsi to resolve Egypt’s crisis and heed the
calls of the Egyptian people to step down, Minister of Defence and Commander of
the Armed Forces Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi called for meetings with representatives
of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), Tamarod (Rebel)
campaign, ultra-conservative Salafist Nour Party, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, and
Coptic Orthodox Pope Tawadros II, as well as Mohamed ElBaradei, who was
delegated by the 30 June Front and the National Salvation Front (NSF).
Earlier
Wednesday, 3 July, Tamarod stressed its demands for Morsi to step down. At the
same time, the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy refused any calls for
negotiations with the army, calling any non-constitutional step a military
coup.
It is crucially
important to note that the army intervention should not be seen as a military
coup. The army, and in no small measure, the police responded to calls from the
Egyptian mass on the streets to end the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood. Various
sources indicate that there were millions of people on the streets since Friday
28 June. The developments of the last few days are what so many in Egypt have
wished for since January 2011, the rise of a new civilian and democratic Egypt.
Nobody can – or should - ignore the sense of optimism amongst people in Egypt
today.
The jubilant
atmosphere translates into positive economic indicators. Unlike some reports
issued by international media, Egypt is currently not suffering from any
shortages of petrol, diesel oil, food supplies or energy resulting in
electricity blackouts; issues that were so prevalent during the 1-year rule of
former President Morsi. Morsi’s government did not appear to have a strategy to
improve Egypt’s economic situation, a series of economic decrees issued and
retracted led to a serious mistrust of Morsi’s capabilities to steer Egypt in
the right direction towards economic recovery. Further presidential decrees and
cabinet reshuffles guaranteed more power for the Muslim
Brotherhood in
Egypt; many started comparing Morsi to Mubarak.
Egypt’s banks
are open and ministries are working today. Egypt’s stock exchange is soaring;
on 24 June EGX 30 closed at 4523.32 points. Yesterday it closed at 4971.06, and
the increase shows no signs of abating. The market value of shares increased to
14.4 billion EGP during the first few minutes of the day.
Summary of the
Army Announcement
- President
Mohamed Morsi is ousted for failing to address the demands of the people
of Egypt.
- Egypt’s
constitution is temporarily suspended.
- The
head of Egypt’s High Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, is appointed as
Egypt’s interim President.
- President
Mansour has the right to issue constitutional declarations.
- Mansour
is responsible for forming an efficient and effective interim technocrat
cabinet.
- Mansour
to prepare a media code of ethics.
We
all hope that this initial sense of optimism will translate in short to medium
term confidence in Egypt’s economy and increased political stability. The
police, with the assistance of the army, have a strong grip on Egypt’s internal
security situation despite attempts by some groups of pro-Morsi protestors to
create unrest. If market confidence is maintained, this could lead to medium
term positive developments, increase tourism and foreign investment into Egypt.
Exports from Egypt should then witness an increase, inflation should start to
ease and unemployment figures should drop.
