Egypt Erupts In Celebration As President Morsi Is Ousted [PHOTOS AND VIDEO]

Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has been overthrown following the largest protest in human history in which the Egyptian army demanded he step down in order to redraw the country's political future. Adli al-Mansour of the Supreme Constitutional Court was appointed interim head-of-state Wednesday after a declaration by the Egyptian army, which also suspended the nation's current constitution, Al-Jazeera reported. He will be sworn in Thursday.

Abdel Fattah al-Sisi declared Morsi's overthrow in a televised announcement. The former leader is believed to be in Cairo, barricaded in the Republican Guard barracks. In his broadcast, Sisi called for parliamentary elections, a panel to review the constitution and national committee for reconciliation in alignment with youth groups. While he said that this plan has been largely agreed upon by varying political groups, supporters of Morsi have gathered in Cairo to express outrage. Those in support of Sisi's announcement, however, overwhelmingly outnumbered pro-Morsi demonstrations just opposite that side of town.

Mohamed ElBaradei, the liberal opposition leader, said that the 2011 movements have been reignited, noting that the new political discourse is agreeable with the demands of protesters. The new course of action is backed by Muslim and Christian leaders alike. As the one-year anniversary of Morsi's, Egypt's first democratically elected president, election into office, outrage began to boil over as he was accused of turning over the future of the country to Islamist leaders.
