Within hours, the Egyptian military is expected to follow through on its threat to remove Egyptian President Morsi from power and replace him with an interim government. For days, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir Square and elsewhere throughout Egypt have been protesting the Morsi government's failure to enact democratic reforms and the imposition of Islamic law. Morsi supporters, chiefly among Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and conservative religious groups, have been staging counter protests in the streets.
UPDATE: Looks like Morsi's been deposed by the military.
