Egyptians living outside the country on Wednesday began voting in a referendum on the new constitution. The referendum marks the first time Egyptians have voted since the removal of President Mohamed Mursi in July, and is seen as much as a public vote of confidence on the roadmap and army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as the constitution itself.
