The new democracy might well survive if the ambitions of the army are kept in check. I mean, it seems the generals want to keep some power as is shown by the recent actions of the SCAF (Supreme Council of the Armed Forces). On June 17, they issued a order, making the Egypt military independent of the government. The army now reserves the right to appoint all military leaders and the President can't even order troop deployment without the approval of the military council (I think this was done to make sure there was no aggression against Israel).
Also, some days back the Egyptian parliment was dismissed, something that is being blamed on the militaryand until a new assembly is elected, the SCAF has full legislative and executive powers.
So right now, its SCAF and not Mursi who's in control of Egypt. Te SCAF say they will relinquish powers to the President, but who knows when that will happen...
