CAIRO The armed forces ousted Egypt's first democratically elected
president Wednesday after just a year in power, installing a temporary
civilian government, suspending the constitution and calling for new
elections. Islamist President Mohammed Morsi denounced it as a "full
coup" by the military.
After the televised announcement by the army chief at 9:20 PM, millions of
anti-Morsi protesters in cities around the country erupted in delirious
scenes of joy, with shouts of "God is great" and "Long live Egypt."
Fireworks burst over crowds dancing and waving flags in Cairo's Tahrir
Square, epicenter of the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni
Mubarak. Now it was one of multiple centers of a stunning four-day
anti-Morsi revolt that brought out the biggest anti-government rallies
Egypt has seen, topping even those of 2011.
Morsi's aide, Ayman Ali, said the former leader had been moved to an
undisclosed location. He gave no details.
Morsi has insisted his legitimacy as an elected president must not be
violated or Egypt could be thrown in to violence. Some of his Islamist
backers, tens of thousands of whom took to the streets in recent days,
have vowed to fight to the end.
The GCP event was set for 6 hours beginning
a little over an hour before General Siisi
made the announcement of the ouster, 8 pm (18:00 to 24:00 GMT).
The result is 21297.754 on 21600 df, for p = 0.928 and Z = -1.458.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish
signal from noise. This means that every "success" might be
largely driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
