I have serious misgivings about the brotherhood because of the way they mistreat my fellow Christians but that doesn't justify chaos and armed forces involvement in political process. If you make rules, live by them. And don't mistake it, the Mugabes of these world have popular support in their countries. It may sound stupid for one to back the geezer but that's democracy for you..
It is not split in the middle at all!!! the anti Morsi people cannot be compared to those supporting Morsi. On June 30th, Tahrir Square and Sidi gaber area of Alexandria was filled with more people as compared to the January 25th revolution when the Egyptians were trying to oust Mubarak.
Sadly, at the time of Elections, the Egyptian people had only 2 choices; the Islamic brotherhood or former staunch Mubarak supporters.
Mursi made many promises and highly appealed to the masses, especially the low class and uneducated people, who form a large percentage of the Egyptian population. The educated people were against him because they feared what Islamist extremist would do to their country.
Anyway, I admire Egyptians because they are tired of being steeped on. In as much as the economy was good during the Mubarak time, it did not trickle down to the people. Poverty levels are high, education is shit and corruption is high. Egyptians are tired of people making promises and delivering shit at the end of it and that is why they are complaining.
Nevertheless, a huge percentage of the people are against violence and would like a peaceful process.
I admire them for that. Unfortunately Kenyans will take shit from small timers like MPigs for years and years!!! We like being in Bad relationships, its like we cant function without being beaten.
