The Egyptian army has overthrown President Mohamed Morsi, announcing a roadmap for the country’s political future that will be implemented by a national reconciliation committee.
The head of Egypt's armed forces issued a declaration on Wednesday evening suspending the constitution and appointing the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adli al-Mansour, as interim head of state.
Mansour would be sworn in on Thursday.
Morsi's presidential Facebook page quoted the deposed president as saying he rejected the army statement as a military coup.
The ousted leader was believed to be holed up at a Republican Guard barracks in Cairo, surrounded by barbed wire, barriers and troops, but it was not clear whether he was under arrest.
In a televised broadcast, flanked by military leaders, religious authorities and political figures, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi effectively declared the removal of Morsi.

I'll ask you: What the fuck are you talking about? You're trying to be funny or snarky, but you're failing. Desperately. Here's a hint: when you have to explain your joke (and people STILL don't get it), it's not funny. Go away and let the adults talk.

Oh dear.
Hopefully they can make a new, stable government. What's worrying is that this government was supposed to be the democratically elected one.

Supposed yeah, read up on the Muslim Brotherhood and it's history with Egypt and that region. The now MIA president was a member of that group. They don't really get along with the army.

It wasn't truly though. Low voter turnout combined with the secular vote being split between a bunch of candidates. Morsi only got like 35%. First past the post has issues.
