( CNN ) -- Egyptians disillusioned with their president began protests demanding he step down on the one-year anniversary of his swearing-in ceremony . Less than a week later , Mohamed Morsy was removed from power with the help of the military , putting Egypt on course for more pain . Morsy still has support and his Muslim Brotherhood group is likely to still have an important role in Egypt 's future . Even prominent reform figures say the Brotherhood should be part of Egypt 's future . But the fallout from Morsy 's removal will be felt across the region , and Jane Kinninmont warned that some of the nations that cheered Morsy 's downfall may change their view if it sparks people-power protests at home . Morsy was elected president of Egypt in 2012 but went on to push a pro-Islamist agenda that angered opposition liberals , Frida Ghitis said . Mohammed Ayoob , writing on CNN.com , argued Morsy 's greatest mistakes were too much -- not too little -- accommodation of political opponents and not reining in the military 's autonomy . He says some disillusioned Islamists will now likely resort to arms . Before the protests began , CNN contributor Cynthia Schneider warned of the coming second revolution . Millions took part calling for an end to Morsy 's presidency countered by smaller -- but still large -- pro-Morsy rallies . Morsy was given two deadlines on Monday . The opposition gave him 24 hours to quit ; the military gave him 48 hours to `` meet the demands of the people . '' CNN 's Ben Wedeman pointed out it 's hard to rule Egypt without the support of the military . And come the military 's Wednesday deadline , Morsy disappeared from view -- though he was still tweeting -- as his opponents camped out in Tahrir Square until a general announced on TV that Morsy was no longer in power . Huge cheers rang across the square . iReporters in Egypt explained their joy for the moment and their hopes for the future . The Muslim Brotherhood railed against the military 's involvement in ousting Morsy and demanded its supporters take to the streets . Isobel Coleman , a senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations , said Egyptians will now have to choose between secular or Islamic rule -- and that the decision will echo far beyond Egypt 's borders . In the immediate aftermath , world leaders from Iran to the United States reacted to events in Egypt and brushed up on their knowledge of the world 's newest leader , interim President Adly Mansour , who until Wednesday -- when the military suspended the constitution -- was head of the Supreme Constitutional Court .
Mohamed Morsy started the week as president ; ends it in custody . Military used power to break Morsy 's rule after just 12 months . Future is uncertain but decisions will be felt regionally and globally .
