Tension mounts in Egypt, as objection to constitution mounts

Tensions in Egypt do not seem due to simmer any time soon.

That’s when opposition leaders rejected Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi’s plan to vote on a new constitution.

Morsi conceded his previous decree that gave him more power than his predecessor Hosni Mubarek.

Opposition party the National Salvation Front told the BBC that the new constitution does not represent the Egyptian people.

Demonstrations seem destined to continue against Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood party.
