"Gen. Ibrahim faced pressure from powerful figures in the former Mubarak camp.
On June 24, Ahmed Shafiq—the last prime minister appointed by Mr. Mubarak and
Mr. Morsi's closest rival for president—said in a television interview that he
warned the general to not show support for the Brotherhood. "I told him…the coming days will not be on your side if you do, and these
days will be very soon," Mr. Shafiq said on TV. "They will see black days," he
said, referring to the Brotherhood." (thanks Sultan)
