The armed forces involved in the Egyptian crisis

After the army officially came into camp in the difficult situation in Egypt and four members of the government have submitted their resignations, political and institutional isolation of President Mursi becomes more and more evident. That army was a real ultimatum to the Egyptian president, to which have been given forty-eight hours to meet the demands of the people, a polite euphemism for Mursi lead to the decision to resign from a job that has satisfied only the part closer to a religious interpretation of state management. The fears of the army for the progressive worsening of the social situation of the political crisis, with the risk of an escalation of violence throughout the country, opens to the repetition of the solution following the fall of Mubarak, when the military took over the government during the transition the country since the fall of the dictator, in February 2011 until the election of Mursi, which took place in June 2012. Once again, then the Egyptian army turns the subject of greater balance to ensure the peace of the state, in a reversal of the classical political schemes, where the holders of the monopoly of force usually play a role in favor of dictatorships against their wills democratic. The will of the armed forces was, however, greeted with cheers by the protesters of the streets, that they see the only force able to lay their own political autonomy and power of a consistent act as guarantor of the state interests. Of course this view is biased, because the opposition is split setting confessional Mursi given by the state, to embrace a more secular, however, the initial spirit of the Egyptian spring seemed to go in this direction which could be observed by the sharing a common base founded on the affirmation of political and civil rights, even by a force of religious albeit moderate. The betrayal of Mursi in the eyes of Egyptians took to the streets in recent days, driven also by an extreme hatred against the Muslim Brotherhood movement, the real culprit of this change of course, is based on these expectations betrayed in the name of an excessive religious setting, what harm is combined with the original intentions of the protest. However the attitude of Mursi, at least for now is to reject what he has been asked by both squares, which by the army, believing still the legitimate president of the country and exposing Egypt to a deeply uncertain immediate future, both from point of view of public, both from an economic one, where a chaotic situation can only worsen the condition prevailing in the country, because the protesters planned to stay in power in the event of the current president a plan civil disobedience that literally clog the country. In the very short term fears are strongest in the risk of a real bloodbath that could arise from the violent confrontation between the members of their respective factions. In this regard, the appeals have multiplied so that the situation is handled in moderation, especially the U.S. President Obama called to handle the situation through dialogue, while the United Nations has expressed serious concern about the possible developments in the Middle East that the crisis Egyptian could bring.
