Egypt’s Tamarod outlives its purpose

Protesters opposing Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi hold up documents from the "Tamarod" campaign during a news conference at their headquarters in Cairo May 29, 2013. The Tamarod, meaning "rebel", campaign said on Wednesday that it has gathered more than seven million signatures for a petition aiming for a no-confidence vote against Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi which also aims at calling for holding early presidential elections.
