Millions of Egyptians poured into the streets on Wednesday to celebrate the overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi and his Islamist regime. Following an Egyptian general’s announcement of a successful military coup, crowds erupted in jubilation at the news.

“Since last November, 2012, they started to call for a national dialogue with all political parties have responded, and it was rejected by the president in the last moments,” General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in the televised announcement.

Sissi said a government of technocrats will be appointed to run the country during a transition period he did not specify.

Cheers erupted among millions of protesters nationwide who were demanding Morsi’s ouster. Fireworks lit the Cairo night sky. Morsi supporters elsewhere in the city shouted “No to military rule.”

I hope this is the true ‘Arab Spring’ where they wake up and realize that Shira Law isn’t a good idea. That would really put a damper on Barry’s party plans.

Fatah calls on Palestinians to overthrow Hamas in wake of Morsi’s fall

Palestinian Authority leaders on Thursday expressed joy over the downfall of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi’s regime, with some calling on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to follow suit and topple the Hamas government.

Palestinian analysts predicted that the collapse of the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt would undermine Hamas, which in the past year has been emboldened by Morsi’s rise to power.

The spread of heavy handed control by Muslim Brotherhood followers like Hamas appears to be waning, and the Palestinians are now considering similar actions to take back the reigns of their government:

“Now it’s Gaza’s turn to get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood branch,” said one official. “The dark era of political Islam has ended. The era of hypocrisy and lies has ended and Gaza will soon witness its own revolution against Hamas.”

Abdel Rahim Jamous, a Fatahaffiliated political analyst, urged Hamas to seize the opportunity and “return to Palestinian national legitimacy before it’s too late.”

Addressing the Hamas leadership, Jamous said: “You have no future with the Muslim Brotherhood. They have failed even before they started. They are losers. Wake up before it’s too late.”

Palestinian reporters in the Gaza Strip said on Thursday that top Hamas officials seemed to be very worried by the ouster of Morsi.
