DESCRIPTION
Some are calling it a military coup, others are insisting it's a people's revolution. What is for sure is that on Wednesday, July 3rd, a year of turmoil and discontent in Egypt climaxed in the ousting of president Mohamed Morsi. When the country's chief general announced the dismissal of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party, it sparked a carnival among the tens of thousands of anti-government protesters massed in Tahrir Square. But what lies ahead for an Egypt that remains politically and socially polarized? VICE filmmakers are currently on the ground in Cairo, covering the takeover and its aftermath. Watch the film soon at http://VICE.com. Watch a discussion with Egyptian blogger and activist Gigi Ibrahim here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKWxLlCi_z4 Egyptian blogger, journalist, and activist Gigi Ibrahim joins VICE's Tim Pool to discuss what happens now that Morsi is no longer president. Gigi has been credited as being a part of a new generation of "citizen journalists" who document news events using social media. For this she was featured on a cover of Time magazine as "one of the leaders" of Tahrir Square during the Egyptian Revolution in 2011.
