CAIRO, July 1 (Reuters) – The founder of an Egyptian protest
movement which brought millions out to demand President Mohamed
Mursi resign said on Monday he welcomed an ultimatum from the
army to politicians and urged people to rally again until Mursi
quit.
Mahmoud Badr, of the “Tamarud – Rebel!” coalition told a
televised news conference: “The statement of the armed forces
has a single idea – supporting the will of the Egyptian people
at this moment, which means early presidential elections.”
