I don't consider this a coup by the normal definition because it was preceded by 10,000,000 or so citizens on the street demanding change. Perhaps more of a military-assisted-people's revolution.

I think Egypt *might* avoid civil war, because its unique geography fosters an "Egyptian" identity rather than a Sunni / Shia / Christian / whatever identity. But it might not, because those other identities are pretty gripping, at least on some people.
