Supporters of Morsi angry after army decision to oust president
- 11 years ago
STORY: Supporters of Egypt's ousted Muslim Brotherhood said that Wednesday night's announcement by the armed forces of a political transition amounted to a "military coup" against the democratically-elected President.
Scores of President Mohamed Mursi's supporters continued their days-old rally in Cairo, with crowds waving their shoes as a sign of disrespect to the military and chanting anti-military slogans.
The Egyptian army overthrew the Islamist President earlier in the day and announced a political transition, after massive protests over three days by a wide range of political, religious and youth leaders.
But leaders of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood party decried the day's developments, including Mohamed al-Baltagi who said the move was an opportunity for the political opposition to reject "dialogue and democratic change through parliamentary elections.''
