Relations between Ankara and Cairo collapsed in 2013 after Egypt’s then-army chief Sisi led the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Mursi, a Turkish ally who had become Egypt’s first democratically elected president the year before. Mursi visited Turkey as president in 2012.
Awkward paragraph; so Sisi lead there toppling of Mursi from the Muslim brotherhood?
No, Sisi led the ouster of Mursi. Mursi had become president of Egypt in 2012, a year before Sisi led his ouster. The implication is that Mursi was oustered from the presidency.
At the time of the ouster, Sisi was the (?an?) army chief and Mursi was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. It is unclear if Mursi is still a member. It is clear that Sisi is no longer the (?an?) army chief as Sisi is now president.
Oh
