Cairo - The Egyptian army has given the country's politicians a 48 hours ultimatum to resolve the current political stalemate, further emboldening opponents of Mohamed Morsi, the embattled president, and pushing the most populous Arab nation deeper into uncertainty.
The army statement, delivered on state television on Monday, called on political groups to resolve the situation.
"The armed forces repeat their call for the people's demands to be met and give everyone 48 hours as a last chance,” it said.
"The national security of the state is in severe danger,” it added, warning that if there was no resolution the army "will be obliged by its patriotic and historic responsibilities... to announce a road map for the future and the steps for overseeing its implementation, with participation of all patriotic and sincere parties and movements."
It described the mass protests on Sunday that brought out millions of Egyptians demanding President Morsi's resignation as "glorious".Opponents of Morsi viewed the army statement as an endorsement and continued to flood the streets to press on the president to step down.
Large protests continued on Monday in Cairo, and in cities outside the capital, including Alexandria, Mahalla, Suez and elsewhere.
