‘Better for Morsi to die defending democracy’ – presidential spokesman.
Egypt’s presidential spokesperson said it is better for Mohamed Morsi to die in defense of democracy than to be blamed by history. His comments come as an army ultimatum to solve the ongoing political crisis expires.
Morsi believes it would be better to die “standing like a tree,” defending the electoral legitimacy of his office, than to go down in history as having destroyed Egyptians’ hopes for democracy, Ayman Ali, the spokesperson said, as cited by Reuters.
Earlier, the Egyptian army issued a call to arms in a statement headlined "The Final Hours", which vowed to restore order as the country remains gripped by violent protests. The military brass said they were willing to shed the blood of "terrorists and fools" once Morsi refused to step down from power.
The Muslim Brotherhood, in their turn, declared the movement was ready to become martyrs to defend the president.
"There is only one thing we can do: we will stand in between the tanks and the president," Gehad El-Haddad, the MB official spokesman, told Reuters on Wednesday.
"We will not allow the will of the Egyptian people to be bullied again by the military machine."
