The look of things in Egypt is that Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is on his way out.The day he was to mark a year in office, he was shocked to see hundreds of thousands of disgruntled Egyptians thronging Tahrir Square urging Morsi relinquish power. Major reason for wanting Morsi to hit the road is that he has failed miserably. His mojo no longer works for him. Morsi did not want to go down easily. He threatened to take all measures to see to it he survives. As the time went by, the game of numbers started to take shape in that it needed bigger numbers for either Morsi to stay or leave. As fate has it, the game of numbers seems to favour the opposition thanks to commanding bigger numbers than Morsi. Morsi's Party headquarters were ransacked and nobody was there to defend them.
Mathematicians started seeing the oust of Morsi as imminent and unavoidable. The army delivered another big blow when it issued the ultimatum of 48 hours for Morsi to put his house in order. Worse enough military choppers flew over Tahrir Square where anti-Morsi demonstrators have camped but not over Nasr City where pro-Morsi have congregated. To break his neck, the army issued an ambiguous message that sent mixed signals to both Morsi and the opposition. Whether Morsi will stay or go, it is not easy to tell. Again, is this dramatic move the beginning of the end for Morsi? Surely time will tell accurately and punctually.
