Egyptian daily al-Ahram looked into details of the roadmap the army had earlier warned it would implement if embattled President Mohammad Mursi didn’t solve the current crisis in the country.

The government daily reported in its online edition that the army told Mursi to step down if he could not come up with a plan that would satisfy the masses Al-Ahram daily logocalling for him to go, or face being removed.

The plan provided for an interim administration of up to a year to replace him, which would include the head of the supreme constitutional court and a senior army figure, the paper reported.

Al-Ahram pointed out that the constitution, controversially approved by Morsi's Islamist allies last December, would be suspended for up to a year while a new one was drawn up.

There would be presidential and legislative elections under terms set by the new constitution, which itself would be put to a referendum.
