{{The newly sworn-in first civilian president of Egypt is at cross roads with Military council after the new leader ordered parliament to resume against court decision that had suspended it last month.}}<\/p>\n
The order by President Mohammed Morsy has pushed his leadership into a conflict with the military council which has said the decision to dissolve the country’s parliament must be upheld.<\/p>\n
The military closed parliament last month after a court ruling. Its latest intervention is seen by some as a challenge and warning to the president, sworn in barely a week ago.<\/p>\n
On President Morsy’s orders, the speaker has convened a meeting of parliament on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Crowds were gathering in Tahrir Square ahead of the meeting called for 10:00 (08:00 GMT), in defiance of the military’s decision.<\/p>\n
The Muslim Brotherhood – which has the biggest bloc of seats in parliament – said it would participate on Tuesday “in a million-man march in support of the president’s decision and reinstating parliament”.<\/p>\n
The military council said it was confident “all state institutions” would respect the law and constitution.<\/p>\n
Analysts say the political truce in Egypt appears over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
