After a year of his

presidency people started

to have protests about him

as the presidency. Even

some of the people who

voted for him are part of

the protests. The military

noticed all of the problems caused by his presidency and gave him 48 hours to change and give the people what they want. As the two days were coming to an end he stated, "Legitimacy is the only way to protect our country and prevent bloodshed, to move to a new phase," he said." Morsi did not do as what was advised and was ousted. So the military is now in control and will be waiting for an election. (BBC, 2013)

Now, some members of the brotherhood including Morsi will be on trial for many violent acts. Morsi will be on trial for many violent acts even murder, terrorism, revealing state secrets and starting military training. His new charges even carry a death penalty.

Egypt will find out soon who their new president will be and if all of the protests will pay off in the end or will another member of the Muslim Brotherhood become another democratically elected president.
