Former Egyptian General Prosecutor Abdel Meguid Mahmud could be reinstated.<\/p>\n
\n
A court in Egypt has ruled that former General Prosecutor Abdel Meguid Mahmud can return to his office, less than a year after he was sacked by President Mohamed Morsi.\n<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Egypt\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s Court of Cassation also rejected challenges filed by the current prosecutor general appointed by Morsi, Talaat Abdallah.\n<\/p>\n
Earlier on Tuesday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Kamel Amr tendered his resignation amid massive protests against Morsi.\n<\/p>\n
Also, the country\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s ministers of tourism, environment and communication also reportedly announced plans to step down.\n<\/p>\n
On July 1, the Egyptian army gave President Morsi a 48-hour ultimatum to resolve the political crisis in the African country, which followed the opposition movement\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s resignation deadline for Morsi.\n<\/p>\n
However, the Egyptian president dismissed the army\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s statement, saying that he will go ahead with his plans for national reconciliation.\n<\/p>\n
Protesters are angry with Morsi\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s handling of the country\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s economy and his as his failure to fulfill his promises.\n<\/p>\n
Several political groups say the government is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood. The opposition also accuses Morsi of deviating from the 2011 revolution.\n<\/p>\n
The massive protests came on the first anniversary of Morsi\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s inauguration as president following the revolution that toppled the Western-backed regime of Hosni Mubarak.\n<\/p>\n
At least 16 people have reportedly been killed during the recent demonstrations.\n<\/p>\n
