Egyptian military falls in behind new president
SubscriptionsGo to the Subscriptions Centre to manage your:My ProfileEgypt's military signalled its acquiescence Monday to the president's surprise decision to retire the defence minister and chief of staff and seize back powers that the nation's top generals grabbed from his office.President Mohammed Morsi's shake up of the military on Sunday took the nation by surprise. It transformed his image overnight from a weak leader to a savvy politician who carefully timed his move against the military brass who stripped him of significant powers days before he took office on June 30.A posting on Cheap Air Max 2016 White Pink Online a Facebook page known to be close to the country's former military rulers said the changes amounted to the "natural" handing over of leadership to a younger generation."A greeting from the heart filled with love, appreciation and respect to our leaders who passed on the banner. They will be in our eyes and hearts," said the posting. "The armed forces is a prestigious institution with a doctrine of full discipline and commitment to legitimacy."Egypt's official news agency quoted an unnamed military official late Sunday as saying there has been no "negative reaction" from within the military. And a day after the orders, no unusual military movements were detected anywhere across the nation.End of power struggleIf Morsi's decisions go unchallenged, it should end the power struggle that pitted him against the powerful military. That could mean the ushering out of six decades of de facto military rule since army officers seized power in a coup in 1952. But removing the defence minister and chief of staff does not necessarily mean that the military, Egypt's most powerful institution, has been defeated or that it would give up decades of perks and prestige without a fight.Morsi has been locked in a power struggle with the military since he took office on June 30.He fired the nation's Wholesale Air [url=http://www.airmax2016uk.top/]Nike Air Max 2016 Womens Max 2016 Black Red Online[/url] intelligence chief a few days after the Sinai attack and made two highly publicized visits to Sinai in the company of top commanders. He also chaired several meetings with the military brass and made a point of calling himself the supreme commander of the armed forces in televised speeches.On Sunday, he ordered the retirement of Defence Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi and Chief of Staff Gen. Sami Annan. But he appointed them as presidential advisers and awarded them some of the nation's highest honours something that suggested they agreed, perhaps grudgingly, in advance.Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, a fundamentalist Islamist group, won both parliamentary and presidential elections in the first free and fair votes in Egypt's modern history. The group had been repressed under Mubarak, who ran a secular state.The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), which ruled Egypt for 17 months after Mubarak was forced out, stripped the presidency of many of its key powers before it handed the office to Morsi. Tantawi was the head (SCAF) and Annan was No. 2. Tantawi was also Mubarak's defence minister for two decades before the regime was ousted.Days before Morsi's inauguration, the SCAF decreed constitutional amendments that gave them the power to legislate after they dissolved parliament, as well as control over the national budget. It also gave them control over the process of drafting a new constitution. The generals had put themselves in charge of all defence and foreign policy, including the appointment of the defence minister.Right to legislateWith his latest move, Morsi reclaimed the powers taken from him, seizing back sole control of the constitution drafting process and the right to legislate.The two men appointed to replace the top military commanders were also members of the SCAF something that could indicate either the military's agreement to the shuffle or splits at the highest level of Nike Air Max 2016 Womens the armed forces. Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah el Sissi replaced Tantawi and Lt. Gen. Sidki Sayed Ahmed replaced Annan.Morsi may have tapped into divisions and the generation gap within the top echelons of the military. Tantawi is 76 and he was in that job for more than 20 years. His replacement, former military intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah El Sissi, is 58. |
