A civil war in Egypt and a split within Army is very unlikely. MB have NO allies in the Army/Police forces.

What we see today is a divided street where 50% of the nation (MB and others but they are often purposely portrayed as minority) supports Morsi, and the other half is against him (coalition of Seculars, liberals, Copts, even the Salafis) Sadly the army has completely sided with those and unbalanced the equation. It looks very strange to see 50% of the people supporting military coup in a country that made revolution against military rule only two years back. Their hate for MB made them do that.

MB despite being the largest and most organized political body in the country, is not capable of starting a civil war, since 3 July their top leaders are all behind bars, Tv channels are all banned, property and money is seized. they are being linked with terror and Hamas by state and private media. They are pushed in a very tight corner and all they can do today is demonstrations and wait for intervention from their International friends (Qatar, Turkey). poor Salafis don't know that if MB is out of the game they are next.

Had they known this is what would happen, I wonder if they would have bothered to get rid of Mubarak. Strange how history always repeats itself.

The irony

Somalia is part of that history. Had Mubarak stepped down, had Ghaddafi left, had MSB let go, had Saddam, the Tzar, the French Monarch...people in power begin to think they're invisible. The people who overthrow them forget/ignore/repeat the same mistakes, the outcome is almost inevitable.

Dozens more than 100, very sad what is going on

Third-square revolts anti-MB, anti-military, anti-felool are taking hold. I wish people would just be patient for the elections.

Oh come on for fuck's sake, you know what you wrote. The question is very simple; if you (and by "you", I mean in the Somali sense ) had known what would happen after a bunch of disparate clan militias overthrew the Somali government, would you (once again, you ) have gone through with with it? Was it worth it? I think the answer is a resounding no. The case of Somalia is very different from those you mentioned, since the rebels never filled the power vacuum which renders the whole "repeating the same mistakes" thing moot.

In the case of Egypt, the Egyptians obviously had no clue what to do after overthrowing Mubarak but at least seem to be avoiding the Somalia route for now. Mindlessly protesting about a corrupt regime because that was apparently the popular thing to do in the Mideast, only to replace it with a regime seemingly on its way to a theocracy, only to have the military reassert itself and take Mubarak's place. What was the point again?

I know what I wrote. Reread the part about history. it's an important question and one that any intelligent human being would have to consider which is why I ask myself, had Caydiid known how things would play out, would he do it again? This is what you call reasoning - something that someone who's not completely blinded by qabiil would be capable of (that's not you).

You think the red berets for example responsible for the killing, torture and rape of Somalis were something to be proud of. You have a warped sense of history. Regarding Egypt the revolution was by the people so whether or not they would repeat it, given that they are the ones now killing each other is pertinent. Regarding Somalia, it was by groups of people from different qabiils, most of whom, like the French revolution and each one in since didn't benefit from it themselves. Would they do it again? As for the rest of the Somalis, you obviously wouldn't believe it was worth it since you were of the persecutors. But what of those who were of the persecuted?

What you don't understand is - the outcome of a revolution or a coup - a violent one at that are ALWAYS the same. Somalia's case is not special. Hence history is always repeating itself.
