EGYPT'S Islamist-led parliament reconvened yesterday in an open challenge to the generals who dissolved the assembly last month, stirring up tensions with the military just 10 days into Mohamed Mursi's presidency.
Mr Mursi, the first civilian president to take office after six decades of military rule, recalled the assembly on Sunday. The body, dominated by Mr Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood group and allies, was dismissed by the army in line with a court ruling issued days before Mr Mursi's election.
