I would also like to touch on The Economist Intelligence Unit and its statement about the possibility of there having been an internal military coup. The unit explains that there is speculation that if in fact there has been a coup, the new military is likely to have been assured by the president that they will attain a degree of operational autonomy. This is in return for supporting the president in his overturning of the SCAF decree attempting to limit his power.
If in fact the military is assured of this autonomy, what does this mean for the civilian government's control of the military and the ability to ensure the military's accountability in the face of Coptic Christian persecution? Do you have anything to say on that?
