Since Morsi’s death was announced, some channels have hosted “experts” denouncing the “violence” and “lies” perpetrated by the group. On Tuesday morning, pro-government newspapers only briefly mentioned Morsi’s death, without referencing his status as a former president. But for Zack Gold, an analyst at the CNA research centre in the United States, it is “unlikely Morsi’s death will result in any immediate rise in the security threat to Egypt”. “In the long term, it would be concerning if the government pre-emptively arrested large numbers out of concern for street protests or other outbursts in the wake of Morsi’s death,” Gold said. On Wednesday, he said he would follow up on the process related to Morsi’s death.
