Egypt To Implode?
Posted by Daniel McAdams on June 30, 2013 11:39 AM The Egypt experiment is falling apart. The massive protests today, marking the first year of Islamist Mohamed Morsi's rule, are pushing the country of more than 80 million to a crisis point with implications for the entire region. It has been a slow-motion disintegration from the begining, however. US-backed liberal Egyptians took to Tahrir Square in 2011, trained by the State Department to mobilize masses through social media to overthrow Mubarak rule. Their success resulted in their being shunted aside in favor of the real power in Egypt, post-Mubarak: the Muslim Brotherhood and the military.
