Mursi loss of support on many fronts Monday echoed defection, when President Hosni Mubarak suffered more than two years ago in his last days. Although Mubarak in a few weeks, losing to the loss of support Mursi hours.
In the military once enjoyed a close relationship with Washington, Samienan, retired general military advisers from the Mursi, during a call with Al-Hayat, a privately owned satellite channels move, as he announced the resignation of his post.
Mursi's cabinet ministers also have at least four tender his resignation. President and Prime Minister said that they refused to accept them, Khaled Fahmy, Egyptian Minister of Environment told Al Arabiya television.
Egyptian Interior Ministry to control the country's police forces, on Monday evening, issued a statement in support of the military's decision. Police forces, "Reaffirming its commitment to protect the people and institutions of national importance, and to ensure the safety of demonstrators, confirm who will be based services, it will stand an equal distance from all the different groups and entities does not favor any party," it said.
On Monday morning, eight people were killed, the mob ransacked the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mursi's power base in Cairo, Egypt's state news agency said. Local media reported that the headquarters was incendiary, moderate Islamic party Muslim Brotherhood (Muslim Brotherhood) and Al rate.
Al Sisi generals, in his address, did not say what kind of "solution", he expects Mursi provide or say anything, he plans to "intervene in the way."
But generally warned that the army will not become involved in politics, because it came to power in February 2011 after the overthrow of Mubarak. In contrast, aluminum Sisi generals said the military will continue to "monitor" and "support the people."
A second military issued a statement Monday evening stressed that it was not on the president to launch a military coup, but was opposed to political groups towards reconciliation, rather than push.
Many of the political opposition have said they do not welcome military intervention refused to negotiate, and ushered in the ultimatum as a sign that the military intends to oversee the president's departure.
"When you praise people's needs, and then return 48 hours, I think the message is clear, said:" Khaled Daoud, NRF spokesman, umbrella group, led Sunday's protest. "I hope that the Muslim Brotherhood will not screw up."
Leadership, the petition Tamarod also helped plan Sunday's protests, said at a news conference, the military said in a statement welcomed and called for further protests announced Tuesday.
The Egyptian military institutions, has enjoyed decades of power, but its final march of political unrest in Egypt has been scarred, this is a high-risk gamble.
Military Supreme Council in February 2011, came to power, Mubarak protests forced from office.
Military leadership 16 months of repeated street protests, political chaos and economic deterioration is corrupted.
Public discontent is an institution that has enjoyed prestige and privileged position in Egypt, because the state in 1952, the last time a major blow to the revolution. Mursi is the first 60 years of the Egyptian president who did not come from a military background.
However, unlike their public commitment to remain at arm's length from the messy political game, the army seems determined to make up.
"If the military says, 'Well, we did not get it right the first time, but we're going to go to another', in the Navy, professor of national security affairs, said:" Robert Springborg Graduate School and the Egyptian military experts.
But this time, the generals will have to play in a strict set of rules. Unlike in 2011, when the military to give up the constitution of the Islamic drafting a charter, Mursi pushed through the end of last year is still the law of the land.
Breach of the file, you can sue the senior management of the risk. However, if the Mursi and his opponents no army of its own deadlines to resolve their differences, the generals may be forced to act outside the law.
"Issued an ultimatum, that would be very dangerous," Marshall said Shana, at George Washington University, deputy director of the Middle East Studies Association. "If the government does not take some Mursi really serious action within 48 hours, the army has to do something, or they lose all legitimacy and authority in the eyes of the public."
All this pressure falls on the man who announced on Monday that Al Sisi general. Mursi chosen as defense minister, Gen. Al Sisi will be at pains to prove that he's functional independence Mursi and his Islamist supporters.
"Al-Sisi within the military generals have his critics [who say he is too soft brother, said:" Mr Springborg. "I think Al Sisi is not only trying to save the nation, he tried to save himself."
