Egypt Boiling Again

On November 30, 2012, Jeffery Fleishman and Reem Abdelatiff of The Los Angeles Times wrote an article called "Egypt Protests Intensify After Passage of Draft Constitution". It discusses what President Morsi of Egypt has done. He has passed a constitution which gives his office majority of the power. The Muslim Brotherhood is also a part of this power given people, and because of that citizens of Egypt have begun protests. The country recently kicked out Mubarak, the old President of Egypt, because of his autocratic policies. Some Egyptian citizens believe President Morsi is the same type of leader. They have rallied together to begin protests, being led by people like Mohamed ElBaradei, a nobel peace prize laureate. It is interesting to see that the people of Egypt are divided in this protest though. There is a part of Egypt that follows the Muslim Brotherhood and President Morsi, and have been called to a rally today to see if that base is still prominent in Egypt. If not, President Morsi has a big problem, but if they show up, it is going to be another new type of conflict in the Middle East.
