2013 Egyptian coup d'état
On 3 July 2013, Egyptian army chief General
Abdel Fattah el-Sisi
led a coalition to remove the only democratically elected President of Egypt,
Mohamed Morsi
, from power and suspended the
Egyptian constitution
. The move came after the military's ultimatum for the government to "resolve its differences" with opponents during
widespread national protests
. The military arrested Morsi and
Muslim Brotherhood
leaders, and declared Chief Justice of the
Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt
Adly Mansour
as the interim president of Egypt. The announcement was followed by demonstrations and clashes between supporters and opponents of the move throughout Egypt. The military's action was supported by the
Grand Sheikh of Al Azhar
Ahmed el-Tayeb
, the
Coptic Orthodox Pope
Tawadros II
and opposition leader
Mohamed ElBaradei
.
