Bloodless Coup

In Egypt, the armed forces granted themselves more power. The Egyptian military took power over its own budget, removed itself from civilian control and assumed the right to write the state constitution.

Observers who looked deeper than the superficial glances of most coverage in this country had long noted that the removal of Hosni Mubarak as president of Egypt changed little. The Egyptian military has been a power unto itself for many decades, arguably since the British were kicked out nearly sixty years ago.
