The document summarizes recent political and economic events in Egypt. It discusses how President Morsi became polarized between his Islamist supporters and opposition groups, leading to a military coup that ousted Morsi from power. It also discusses the economic difficulties Egypt is facing, including a drop in foreign investment, tourism revenues, and foreign currency reserves since the Arab Spring uprisings began in 2011. The crisis has deepened divisions within Egypt and strained its relationship with international allies like the United States.
