Fresh out of his diplomatic success connected with the Gaza Strip Crisis truce, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's country is once again awash in protesters calling for him to step down from power.

The protests, while not quite as large as the protests that occured as the previous government was ousted and the Muslim Brotherhood took control of the country after elections, still is quite large and protesters have taken to the street in the major cities of the North African country.

The massive mobs that have taken to the streets, the largest in Cairo, are protesting Morsi’s Thursday night declaration that any decrees that he issues until a new parliament is elected cannot be challenged, and the blocking of any legal challenges to the committee drawing up the new constitution. Additionally, Morsi sacked the prosecutor General who has been in that postion since the Mubarak regime.

Demonstrators are saying that Morsi has made himself into a dictator and a “The New Pharoah” and has betrayed the revolution that overthrew the government of Hosni Mubarak last year with his Thursday proclamation. while Morsi said that the move was necessary in order to assure a positive transition of the new revolutionary government. Morsi said at the palace, “I am not worried about the presence of opposition. I am careful to allow a strong opposition that will strictly monitor me. My decisions were aimed at preserving our nation, our people, and the revolution.”

Police have fired tear gas at rock throwing youth at Tahrir Square, while protesters have torched the offices of the Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and Justice movement in several Egyptian cities.
