Egypt’s interim Prime Minister Mohammad El Baradei has issued a warning to supporters of recently ousted Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammad Morsi, saying the army would use force, albeit minimally, if mass protests by Morsi’s supporters continued.

The announcement signals the latest in a strange period during Egypt revolutionary struggle after popular revolt removed former dictator Hosni Mubarak, leading to the election of a Muslim Brotherhood leader, only for the country to find itself under military rule.

In recent weeks the massacres of hundreds of Morsi supporters has become dangerously reminiscent of Mubarak’s iron rule.

In an exclusive interview with the Washington Post, General Abdel Fatah Al Sisi justified the Army’s role and accused the US and European Union of turning it’s back on Egypt during Morsi’s rule.

Meanwhile foreign envoys are in Egypt this week to try to host negotiations to end the current stalemate.

The question on the minds of global on-lookers is: what has become of the Egyptian revolution, in which so many the world over placed great hopes for democracy and the will of the people?
