A lot of Egyptians, especially liberal well-educated youths, feel a sense of relief with President Mohammed Morsi’s ouster. They also foresee problems down the road, so many are seeking work abroad.

It has been more than a week since the coup d’état, but naturally for Egyptians, it is still the talk of the town. The time for celebrating, however, is over. The temporary government has been installed, and the Muslim Brotherhood is organizing protests with the potential to devolve into bloody events, like the attack near the Republican Guard's headquarters on July 8.

Youth activist groups supported the appointments of Hazem el-Biblawi as prime minister and Mohamed ElBaradei as vice president of foreign affairs, but they remain suspicious of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. One young Egyptian, Mohammad, a 27-year-old musician, does not understand why his compatriots think the army is the institution that saved them from the Muslim Brotherhood.

“All of a sudden they seem to forget that they shot revolutionaries, right after [President Hosni] Mubarak’s ouster. People praise them, even though they killed people who protested peacefully,” he said to Al-Monitor. “We [youths] are really good at starting revolutions, but when it comes to actual political power, we are being ignored by the ‘big names.’”
