The Egyptian army has
overthrown President Mohamed Morsi, announcing a roadmap for the country’s
political future that will be implemented by a National Reconciliation
Committee.
The
head of Egypt's armed forces issued a declaration on Wednesday evening
suspending the constitution and appointing the head of the constitutional court
as interim head of state.
In
a televised broadcast, flanked by military leaders, religious authorities and
political figures, General Abdel
Fattah al-Sisi effectively declared the removal of
elected Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
Sisi
called for presidential and parliamentary elections, a panel to review the
constitution and a national reconciliation committee that would include youth
movements. He said the roadmap had been agreed by a range of political groups.
