Egypt Parliament dissolved

Egypt's Supreme Court ordered to dissolve parliament on Thursday.

The ruling could put an end to any hopes of triumph for Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi in the upcoming election.

The court also gave Ahmed Shafik,former prime minister to ousted Hosni Mubarak, permission to stay in the presidential race.

Many Liberal and Independent Egyptians accuse the court of trying to preserve military control.

Mohamed el-Beltagy, senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, left a message on Facebook: "This is the Egypt that Shafik, and the military council want and which I will not accept no matter how dear the price is."

Egyptians are now faced with holding a new election for parliament and the possibility of losing the democracy they fought so hard for.

The presidential run-off between Morsi and Shafik begins on Saturday.
