What lead to the coup?

Egypt has always been a communist country and the big problem is that Mohamed Morsi is a capitalist so that is the main reason why the people didn’t like Morsi (mainly the military forces) as president of Egypt.

The military people said that "did not achieve the goals of the people" during his single year in office but we all know that this is only an excuse.

Muslim Brotherhood movement, had rejected an ultimatum delivered by the military’s to solve the crisis in 48 hours. (The military are the most powerful institution in the country).

What triggered the latest protests?

People were concerned about the lack of effort being done by President Morsi to solve the economic and social problems Egypt was facing.

On 30 June 2013 there was a protest organized by the grassroots Tamarod (Rebel) movement. Because of this, the militars gave Mr. Morsi an ultimatum saying that they were going to do a coup d’état if he didn’t satisfy the people in 48 hours.
