“Reuters is reporting that the Egyptian Army ousted former President Mohammed Morsi in part over his calls for backing the Syrian rebels against dictator Bashar al-Assad.”
I can only think this is a half truth.
The protests against Morsi were NOT directed at his calls for support for the Syrian “rebels”. They were not in the street for that reason.
IF - a big IF - the Rueters report is 1/2 right - then (a) the Egyptian military used the excuse of the protests against Morsi to act against him for their own reasons, however (b) I doubt the military would have risked violent protests against them if there had been no such excuse and they had deposed Morsi anyway.
