Just three weeks after staging the most brutal military coup in Egypt’s history, he wanted “all honorable, decent Egyptians” to take to the streets to march for the military, thereby giving him and his army “a mandate and an order to fight potentialviolence and terrorism.” Tens of thousands of Egyptians heeded his call.
