World Egypt crisis: Cairo quiet but tense as death toll rises

[FireCat]

Cairo is reported quiet but tense after a crackdown on Islamists which left hundreds dead and drew international condemnation.

At least 525 people died when Egyptian security forces stormed two camps which supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi set up in the city last month. A state of emergency was declared after the bloodiest day in Egypt since the pro-democracy uprising two years ago.

US Secretary of State John Kerry said the events were "deplorable".They were "a real blow to reconciliation efforts" he added, while EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also criticised the use of force. Egyptians awoke to a frightening and uncertain future, the BBC's Bethany Bell reports from Cairo.

Very well, the more they kill each other the easier it will be for us to take them over.

I think some kind of makeshift civilian government until the chaos is over and another democratic election can begin.
Question is if the military will kill off the next democratically elected president as well.

I sense there will be trouble there up to the point a Republican is the President. They will establish a regime and straighten it all up. People over there cannot govern themselves. Not with all the external influences. History of our times will be so interesting to later generations.

Meh, later generetations will be raised and educated by the tv so they probably wont even know about this.

Or the future equivalent to tv, rather.
