Egypt bleeding
After decades of military and autocratic rule, Egypt returned to democratic governance just a year ago. But the country plunged into unprecedented turmoil after the elected president was removed by the military. The military even did not allow the democratically elected president Morsi more than a year time to address the problems of the country piled during the rule of the past rulers with the blessings of the military and the world super power, the USA. Egypt is now bleeding and burning. So far, official death toll is 638 (unofficially thousands) from the crackdown carried out by the military on the two camps housing supporters of ousted president as they are demanding Morsi's reinstatement. Their demand is hundred percent legal as Mr. Morsi was elected president through a general election. Against the backdrop of this highly volatile and explosive situation leading to bloodshed and turmoil and imposition of month long state of emergency, and a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the capital and 10 other provinces, the world conscience is calling all the stakeholders to play their desired roles.
