The Egyptian army has removed Morsi as president.

Intervention of the military in politics is always dangerous, but in Egypt the alternative was dangerous too. The army says it will make the head of the constitutional court an interim president to hold new elections for president and congress. On the other hand, I have read it has shut some TV channels, including the Egyptian branch of al-Jazeera. I don't think I can tell whether this is heading for democracy or tyranny.
