Egypt’s Coup leader, General Abdelfatah al-Sissi<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Egypt’s chief justice Adly Mansour was sworn in as the country’s interim president on Thursday, a day after the military ousted and detained Mohamed Morsi following a week of massive protests.<\/p>\n

“I swear to preserve the system of the republic, and respect the constitution and law, and guard the people’s interests,” Mansour said as he took the oath of office at a ceremony in the Supreme Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n

Officials welcomed the declaration with a warm round of applause.<\/p>\n

The swearing-in ceremony, which was broadcast live on national television, came after the military swept aside Morsi on Wednesday, a little more than a year after the Islamist leader took office.<\/p>\n

A senior military officer told AFP the army was now “preventively” holding Morsi.<\/p>\n

The ousted president’s government unravelled after the army gave him a 48-hour ultimatum in the wake of massive demonstrations against him on June 30, the anniversary of his first turbulent year in power.<\/p>\n
