More than 50 supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammad Morsi were shot and killed by members of the military this morning in a massacre that threatens to derail future negotiations. Days after dramatic developments in Egypt that led to military authorities ousting President Morsi, tens of thousands of Egyptian supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood had taken to the streets demanding his reinstatement. The military coup was in response to millions of people protesting in Cairo and other major cities against what they called Morsi’s undemocratic rule. The military decreed Supreme Court justice Adly Mansour as Egypt’s interim President and Mansour initially appointed pro-reform leader Mohammad El Baradei as Prime Minister before backtracking on his decision. Morsi remains detained at an undisclosed location.
