From iPolitics:
As everyone is well aware, Egypt is undergoing mass political change. In a surprise
move early last week, the recently-elected Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsy
shocked Egyptians and the international community alike by sending top armed forces
officials into early retirement and by striking down an addendum to the 30th March
Constitutional Declaration that would have curbed his powers. Greeted by both exuberance
on behalf of Morsy supporters as well as outcries from other political groups, this
sudden seizing of presidential authority has led to a week of speculation over the
future of the balance of power in the country. [About the author: Kelsey Norman is
