CAIRO: Egypt President Mohamed Morsirebuffed an army ultimatum to force a resolution to the country’s political crisis, saying on Tuesday that he had not been consulted and would pursue his own plans for national reconciliation.
“Last 48 hours of Muslim Brotherhood rule,” the opposition daily El Watan declared. “Egypt awaits the army,” said the state-owned El Akhbar
But the Islamist leader looked increasingly isolated, with ministers resigning, the liberal opposition refusing to talk to him and the armed forces, backed by millions of protesters in the street, giving him until Wednesday to agree to share power.
