Breakdown in Egypt's political progress

Further protests are expected as Egyptians again take to the streets.

Disputes over Egypt's premier to succeed Mohamed Mursi have resulted in a breakdown in the country's political progress.

A presidential spokesperson informed foreign media no selection was made. The unexpected news came as a cold shower after liberal Mohamed ElBaradei was named as probable interim prime minister. The Nour Party, Egypt's second Islamist force after the Muslim Brotherhood, was highly critical to ElBaradei's appointment.

Pro and anti Mursi protestors battled in the streets leaving more than 30 people dead and 1,400 injured since Wednesday's coup. Authorities are asking demonstrators to cease violence for the country's sake.

"Changes should be made in a professional was or Egypt will never recover", a resident was reported saying.

Egypt's military had vehemently denied allegations of staging a coup and claims to have simply carried out the people's wishes.

It was a coup after foreign instigators made the opposition to go down the streets.The latest new created buzzword was said in a BBC program by a Middle east Analyst: Sakar-ai-Makhadni who had the cheek to say that this was a LEGAL COUP.This had opened a very dangerous door now where any democratically elected government can now be brought down by foreign intervention.
