Egypt on the edge after Mursi rebuffs army ultimatum
EXCERPT
A senior European diplomat said that if the army were to go further and remove Mursi by force, the international community would have no alternative but to condemn the toppling of a democratically elected president.
Yasser El-Shimy, Egypt analyst at the International Crisis Group, said the army’s move, by hardening positions on either side, had it very difficult to find a constitutional way out of the crisis - for which Mursi could use his power of decree.
“It will have to override the constitution and wage a full coup,” Shimy said of the army. “Things could deteriorate very rapidly from there, either through confrontations on the street, or international sanctions.
“Mursi is calling their bluff. Saying to them, ‘if you are going to do this, you will have to do it over my dead body’.”
