The repressive coup regime receives one humiliating blow after another. The latest of those was from the African Union (AU), which refused to change its decision considering the power-grab in Egypt after June 30 a full-fledged coup. Even worse, the AU said it refused the putschists‘ request to reinstate Egypt‘s membership because Article 153 of Egypt‘s 2012 Constitution, on procedures regarding vacancy of the President‘s post and how his successor should be appointed, makes the current regime illegitimate. This was even more humiliating to the coup commanders and collaborators.
