President Mohammed Morsi Ousted By Egyptian Military Crowds Celebrate In Cairo

CAIRO — The Egyptian military said Wednesday that it had ousted President Mohammed Morsi and suspended the country’s constitution. Armored cars, tanks and troops deployed in the capital in what advisers to the president described as a coup.

In a scene reminiscent of the earliest days of the Arab Spring, tens of thousands of Egyptians who had demanded the president’s ouster staged a jubilant celebration in Tahrir Square — dancing, cheering and setting off fireworks.

Earlier in the day, the president and the military each swore to fight to the death for control of the country, and a military deadline for Morsi to step aside came and went with no statement from the president.

“We swear to God to sacrifice with our blood for Egypt and its people against any terrorist, extremist or ignoramus,” the military said in a statement. “Long live Egypt and its proud people.”

The army took control of state television and sent troops to parts of Cairo where crowds sympathetic to Morsi had gathered. Supporters of the president said democracy was being subverted by a military intervention, and the Muslim Brotherhood, which backs Morsi, said some of its leaders had been arrested.

BREAKING: Egypt's Morsi Overthrown, Army Denies MILITARY COUP to Gather Supports



Washington (CNN) -- A foreign policy headache for President Barack Obama worsened on Wednesday as Egypt endured its second coup in less than three years.

Demonstrators jammed Cairo squares to oppose and support President Mohamed Morsy before the military suspended the constitution and announced he was no longer in power.

Egypt's latest political instability came a year after Morsy became the nation's first democratically elected leader. The vote followed similar mass protests and unrest that led to a 2011 military coup resulting in the ouster of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak.

Obama refused to choose sides then and his administration has taken a similarly neutral stance so far this time.

Before the military announced the coup, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Wednesday that the United States was "very concerned about what we are seeing on the ground," describing it as "an extremely tense and fast-moving situation in Egypt."

Repeating the stance of Obama as expressed in a White House statement on Tuesday, Psaki said Washington believed that "the Egyptian people deserve a peaceful political solution to the current crisis."

While saying the administration isn't taking sides, Psaki also noted that Morsy had failed to outline "significant specific steps" to address the concerns of anti-government protesters.

"We had said that he must do more to be truly responsive and representative to the justified concerns expressed by the Egyptian people and unfortunately that was not a part of what he talked about in his speech" on Tuesday, Psaki said.

A vital U.S. ally
