Following
the latest events, and in the course of dusting my memory, I went through the
Political Science dictionaries to remember the precise definitions of what has
been going on since the elected President was sworn in until the Minister of
Defence made his much disputed maneuver to pull the carpet(s)
from beneath the unfit president’s feet and put him under arrest for whatever
accusations, and suggest a new interim president candidate to nominate another
interim prime minister to nominate an interim government of which he remains
serenely filling his post as Minister of Defence.
Here I
have to open a bracket.. Before going any further I have to remind you that my
stand, being a laic liberal citizen, remains firm as it was since day one (see my article Last
Call Dr. MORSI!! My open letter to the President, posted on October 26th
2012); unfavourable
to a Presidential Republic (especially under the laws in force at the time and still unchanged by
the way) yet very much in favour
of a Constitutional Parliamentary
Republic as defined in the aforementioned article.
Anyhow,
I’ll close the brackets here and move back to where I left.. Let me just write
the definitions of the terms used these days by everyone all the time, and on
all TV channels, domestic and foreign.. So here are the cold abstract
definitions:
I.
Coup d’Étât: A rapid and
violent change of the established order, imposed by the few and endured by the
majority.
II.
White Coup: A coup d’étât, developed without violence, undergone
by a government exercising its powers unconstitutionally.
Now I
invite you to draw your own conclusions and opinions accordingly, even better to
force yourself into your most possible abstract objectivity, and when you
connect which to whom…
Pass On The Word.
NB: If you wish to
know my conclusions, overturn your
screen to read them.
