CAIRO - The army is back. Maybe not in politics and in the street, but at least on the screen. In a statement read out on state television on Monday night, the Egyptian Armed Forces gave Islamist president Mohammed Morsi 48 hours to respond to the wave of mass protest demanding his ouster. “If the demands of the people are not met in this period – the army – will announce a future roadmap and measures to oversee its implementation” the statement said.
