Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood called for a mass rally today to demand the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Mursi as Prime Minister-designate Hazem El-Beblawi prepared his Cabinet.
The rally is to maintain the Muslim Brotherhood’s campaign to reverse the ouster of Islamist Mursi, whom the army deposed on July 3 and detained after protests against him by tens of thousands of Egyptians. Defense Minister Abdelfatah al-Seesi defended the military’s action yesterday, saying it was “in the service of the people.”
