After Egypt: uneasy now lies the head that wears a (democratic) crown
Jul 17, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica - The Egyptian military coup that removed the democratically elected President Mohamed Morsi was justified as an act to save democracy and preserve law and order by preventing the country from sinking into further chaos and violence.
The military claimed that it was prompted not only by social disorder but by the publicly expressed demands of the majority of people. The military moved quickly to put in key positions people of their choosing so as not to be ruling on a day-to-day basis.
We have agonised long and hard over this development. Even if the military facilitates free and fair elections within a short span of time, it does not change the fact of the use of force to subvert democracy.
