All essentially true, but only because a MINORITY fanatical element went far too far, and then rejected the will of the people!
One cannot serve two masters!
Either Egypt and her peoples, all of them, embrace longed for democracy, or continue down the pathway to almost inevitable civil war!
Simply put, a minority cannot enslave the majority, with entirely unpalatable and indeed, essentially false ideas!
Just because a seriously mistaken radical element believes the world is flat, doesn't make it flat or give them the right to force their false doctrine down the throats of the general public!
Those that sacrificed their lives and liberty, did so to usher in a democracy, not a Muslim brotherhood theocracy!
If a few AUTOCRATS over reach, and grant themselves the powers of virtual dictators, they must pay a price, namely, being thrown out of office.
Egypt would fare much better if it followed the Turkish example, and had the secular nature of government guaranteed, not just by the constitution, but by the army as well!
Enough already.
Rhrosty.

The Nile cannot support the 83 million people.
Up until Egypt's export of oil ceased they did have funds to
subsidise food and fuel.

That has ended and their population must decrease until the Nile can
support the population. They are living on charity for now but that
will wear thin quickly.
Some opinion is that the Nile can support about 40 million.
What do you do with the 40 million excess ?

The upstream countries are building dams on the Nile and Morsi is very
unhappy about that.

I note one of the new mantras of carbon-conscious environmentalists is the unsustainability of transporting our food long distances. So far they've only sought to apply it to (ie criticize) places like the US & OZ --their favourite whipping boys.

And, it has some merit, perhaps we should work towards utilization of local supply. But, if they take a step back & think about it, its main impact would be on places like Egypt whose population numbers are such that they couldn't even in their wildest dreams be in a position to procure their food locally.

So now, I am waiting for these same high-principled, carbon-conscious environmentalists to make the connections and start campaigning for
places like Egypt to reduce numbers --betya I'll be waiting a loooooooooooooooong time!

It will only happen in hindsight.
First you will notice an upsurge in legal immigration by those that
can afford it and qualify, followed by those organised by people smugglers.

Then later the destitute that simply take to the road in search of food and work.
Some Africans are already in that class, traveling to North Africa on
trucks and buses. They then try anything to get over to Europe.
It will be interesting to see the reaction of Middle East countries
if the immigration route diverts to an all land route.

I just cannot imagine the chaos when 40 million Egyptians take to the road.

Welcome to the post peak oil world.
