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.
