#cnn #amanpour #egypt #morsi 2011: millions of egyptians take to the streets asking for the president to resign. The army moves into the cities, declares marital law, forces the president to resign, suspends the constitution and takes direct power. 2013: millions of egyptians take to the streets asking for the president to resign. The army moves into the cities, does NOT declare martial law, removes the president from office, suspends the constitution, does NOT take power, gives it to interim civilan. By definition: a military coup by officers against a dictatorship is still a military coup. i.e. the coup is not defined by who is being removed (elected/dictator). QUESTION: Why was JAN2011 a revolution and JUN2013 a military coup?
