TEMPLATE ANALYSIS
Friday has been designated as the day of rejection by the ousted government of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The military who say that their actions are not a coup almost immediately fired in to protesters who had gathered outside the building where they believe to be where the toppled President Mohammed Morsi is being held.
Three people were killed as a result.
And the newly appointed interim President has suspended the upper house of parliament which was the only functioning arm of government, after the suspension last year of the lower house.
And still this is not a coup.
Key figures of the Muslim Brotherhood are also under arrest, as the supporters of the largest political and social party in Egypt gather on the streets, many no doubt wondering whether they will come back alive.
What we are seeing unfolding on our screens is the struggle for the future of Egypt.
If no one says anything, the military will have been allowed to stage a coup which by any standard makes a mockery of the idea of democracy.
What we are also seeing is struggle for the soul of Egypt, a nation which has known decades and decades of corrupt and incompetent military rule and which after one year may never see democracy ever again.

TEMPLATE ANALYSIS
In 1992, the Algerian military fearing the establishment of an Islamist government canceled the country’s elections. The Military also banned the group that had won the first two rounds of the democratic process, namely the Front Islamique du Salut.
As a result, the country was plunged into civil war that resulted in the deaths of some 100, 000 people.
Already, there are echoes of that bloody conflict in the chaos that is becoming known as Egypt.
This time, the Islamist government of Mohamed Morsi was allowed to the win the country’s elections. However, a year into his Presidency and there are already crowds demanding that he leave.
If the crowds at Tahrir Square don’t get their way, there are some predicting that there will be violence.
If the government of Mohamed Morsi is not allowed to serve its full term, then that will be to the detriment of the democracy in Egypt, the laboratory from where the Arab Spring was created.
And it will also send a signal to the young in the Arab world, many of whom support Islamist movements, that democracy, the greatest political idea invented by man, is a sham.

TEMPLATE REPORT
French troops are taking part in operations against Islamists in northern Mali, Francois Hollande has confirmed.
“Mali is facing an assault by terrorist elements coming from the north whose brutality and fanaticism is known across the world,” the French president said. He said Mali’s existence as a state was under threat, and referred to the need to protect its own population and 6,000 French citizens living there. France ruled Mali as a colony until 1960.
The French President said the intervention complied with international law, and had been agreed with Malian President Dioncounda Traore. A state of emergency has been declared across the country.
Mr Traore used a televised by Giant Savings” href=”#”>address on Friday to call on Malians to unite to “free every inch” of the country.
He said he was to by Giant Savings” href=”#”>launch a “powerful and massive riposte against our enemies” after he “called for and obtained France’s air support within the framework of the international legality”.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the aim of the operation was to stop Islamist militants advancing any further.
“We need to stop the terrorists’ breakthrough, otherwise the whole of Mali will fall into their hands threatening all of Africa, and even Europe,”
The UN had previously approved plans to send some 3,000 African troops to Mali to recapture the north if no political solution could be found, but that intervention was not expected to happen until September.
Late on Thursday, an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council called for the rapid deployment of an African-led force.
The EU also said it would support the rapid deployment of an African-led mission and speed up preparations for a military training mission

TEMPLATE ANALYSIS
Anyone who looks at the map of the Middle East, can not fail to notice the size of the land of the people of Israel. And whats more, she is wedged between the West Bank and Gaza, land like that of East Jerusalem, which is technically Palestinian. So, when Israel speaks of being threatened and surrounded by hostile neighbours, she does have a point. However, since the six-day war of 1967, she has been winning wars, and has been backed politically, economically and of course militarily by a Superpower that has always regarded her as special case.
The latest Gaza war and the obvious powerlessness of any of the Arab nations, including Turkey and Iran, to muster any kind of military response has meant that she remains the preeminent power in the region.
Yet, policy makers in Tel Aviv are going to have to face reality – they can not continue to behave in an appalling way towards the Palestinians, who remain the people without a land living on a land from which they wer displaced.
The astonishing thing about the Palestinians, according to those who meet them, is how little malice they actually hold towards Israel, considering how much they have suffered and had to endure since the proclamation of the Jewish state on May 14, 1948.
Even now, Israel’s leaders have an opportunity to solve the Palestinian Question.
It could start with a viable Palestinian state in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem with the long-term view to breaking down the borders to create a single whole Israel-Palestine where Jews, Muslims and Christians co-exist in the much the same as they have for centuries.
Of course, the extremists will oppose it, and unfortunately the ones who live in and control Israel’s political system are less accommodating than are Hamas.

TEMPLATE REPORT
Ahmed Said Khalil al-Jabari, head of the military wing of Hamas, has been killed during a series of Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip.
He and another senior Hamas official died when the car they were travelling in was hit in Gaza City.
Israeli Defence Force (IDF) spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibovich told BBC News “close to 20” sites in Gaza had been targeted in a “limited” operation, with the strikes aiming to destroy rocket-firing capabilities.
“The operation against Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other organisations has two goals: to protect Israeli civilians and target the terror capability of these organisations,” she added.
Militants in Gaza have fired more than 110 rockets towards southern Israel since Saturday, when four soldiers were wounded in an anti-tank missile attack on an Israeli army jeep. Before Wednesday’s operation, six Palestinians had been killed in the ensuing Israeli military strikes on the Gaza Strip in response.
Mr Jabari, who was 46, is the most senior Hamas official to be killed in the Gaza Strip since the major Israeli offensive four years ago.
Israel’s Shin Bet by Giant Savings” href=”#”>security service said he had been responsible for “all terrorist activities against Israel from Gaza” in the last decade.
“Jabari was responsible for by Giant Savings” href=”#”>financing and directing military operations and attacks against Israel. His elimination today is a message to Hamas officials in Gaza that if they continue promoting terrorism against Israel, they will be hurt.”
