Please see http://ow.ly/91X86 for updated list of SCAF members...
While this may seem like a moot point, I think the lack of transparency is ridiculous (not even full list of names) around the 20-odd person body that is controlling 85M people with almost complete authority and no (other than guns) legitimate mandate to rule through today...
So was General Etman promoted or fired? http://ow.ly/8P7UQ (promoted to deputy chief of army staff ) vs http://ow.ly/8P7W0 (fired but retains advisory role)... Where does this leave him with regard to SCAF membership? According to latter source "while no longer a member of the 20-member military council, Etman will remain one of Tantawi’s many advisers, positions given to officers closely tied to the army leadership, the source at the Defense Ministry said."
Also, does his replacement (Major General Ahmed Abul Dahab, director of artillery division) now join SCAF?
My previous count was at 21 but we may be down to 20 now (which corroborates Masry Al Youm article).
Also, found the only video I know that has a large number of SCAF members visible. However, which corroborates SIS website per the previous SCAF Member Confusion Post
If he was fired because of the image of the army in the media (per Al Masry al Youm) my advice would be to try changing behavior instead of rotating faces...
Update
Al-Masry Al Youm has multiple articles claiming he has been effectively fired but have not seen additional confirmation...
http://ow.ly/8P8Bw: Reasons given were Maspero, appointment of Samir Farag and lack of response to Tantawi speeches by Egyptians
