Summary

Press and the media in Egypt determined to strike against the President Morsi and his totalitarian government. Due to the passage of the constitution of enforcing Islamic dogma, court justices were already in the strike against the peremptory rulings of Morsi Administration, and protestors held rallies against Morsi's despotism. This time, several private media corporations also participates in this protest for raising voice against the government's limitation of basal freedoms, such as speech and religion. As a result of protest, Egyptian government is sharply divided into pro-governmentalists, who agree upon government under Islamic dogma, and anti-governmentalists, who oppose the domination of Islam in the government and promote democratic system. Not even stabilized the government after the Mubarak crisis, Egypt is now facing another political crisis again.

My opinion

Morsi's administration seems not so different from what Mubarak had done in Egypt for several decades. Even though Egyptians successfully overthrew the dictator Mubarak out of Egypt, I think Egyptians failed to get rid of dictator system out of the country perfectly. This is the fundamental reason that similar incidence is also happening again less than two years and perpetually having an unstable government. For the most part, this is the only good opportunity to get rid of the seed of despotism in Egypt and formulate a stable democratic government by electing new leader or amending the constitution.
