BREAKING: Egyptian army gives 48 hour ultimatum to Brotherhood, political forces

From Al Ahram:
The armed forces are giving all political forces 48 hours as a last chance to solve the ongoing problems, or else the armed forces will have to announce a new roadmap for the future, and will enforce certain measures with the help of all factions including the youth, without excluding anyone.

The statement was read out on Egyptian state TV.
Things are getting interesting.

BBC adds:
In his pre-recorded statement broadcast on state television on Monday evening, the head of the armed forces described the protests as an "unprecedented" expression of the popular will.

But Gen Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the army would not get involved in politics or government.
I think they just did.
