As the sun rose over Cairo on Friday, an assembly charged with crafting Egypt's new constitution gave its final approval after 21 hours of haggling and the passage of all 234 articles.

The draft will be printed later in the day and presented to President Mohamed Morsy on Saturday, said Houssam al-Ghiryani, who heads the assembly.

But that doesn't mean Egypt's crisis is over.

The constitution, which would replace one scrapped in last year's revolution that led to Hosni Mubarak's ouster, needs to be approved by citizens, many of whom are angry at the government.Much more at http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/30/world/meast/egypt-protests/index.html?hp

Only time will tell where this goes. I wish them luck.

I've heard that a lot of people aren't pleased with it thus far.
