CAIRO – Egypt's ruling military council reaffirmed on Monday that it will transfer power to civilian authority by the end of the month, but Egypt analysts warn that the nation could be teetering toward another political crisis as a standoff brews between the interim military rulers and Islamists.
As Egyptians celebrated the apparent victory of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi in Tahrir Square, the nation's military power issued an addition to its constitutional declaration that limits the president's powers in overseeing the military and puts legislative affairs in the generals' hands.
