Enough!!


In a hestorical moment, a few days after the massive demonstrations that took place right in the heart of Cairo calling for a Real political reform, came the call from the president for a constitutional reform allowing free presidential elections... perhaps for the first time in Egypt's modern history.
A huge step that provokes huge questions...
  • Was it a real victory for the opposition?

Tell u the truth, I don't think so. We don't have that strong oppostion afterall. I believe it was ment to be... perhaps there was some kind of pressure to move on with the political reform process anyway. You cannot ignore the latest Gorege W. Bush's radio address last week where he mentioned Egypt & K.S.A. and erged them to move forward in thier political reform & democtratization process.

  • What about the aftermath?


Well, I guess it will be a total mess. No one had prepared for that kind of step. Yes, they were calling for it for a long time now but almost had no hope it will come true... at least on the short run. During the past 20 years of Mubarak's regime, he did his best to eliminate any chance for a second row {ppl to take over the power after him I mean} and I guess he succeeded in that. You don't have a known face to the majority in whom they trust and go to elect as a president. Taking that into consideration, I believe it will be a totall mess. Anyone will go for the chair... and for sure the only winner will be Mubarak eventually. We will find ppl from different islamic groups {you might find Amr Khaled himself running for it...:-D}, social idols {we already hear about Nawal El-Sa'dawy preparing fot that}, ppl from minority groups {some christian famous figures might try to go for it as well}... and of course you will find anonymous ppl supported from wealthy/filthy businessmen... You will ,simply, find anyone there.

  • So what about the afterall results?
Mubarak's Regime winning for sure but this time with a democtratic camoflgue perhaps will decrease the pressure put on him from the outside world. On the other side, it will give him another 6 years to prepare for his success which I assume will be Omar Soliman or any other military figure... first be appointing him as vice president after two years from now and then letting him take over the whole thing. In the mean time, they will be doing there best to alter Gamal's picture which became not that prefect afterall. I assume he will run for the first presidential election campaigne after Omar shall rule with a new polished face as our only hope for a real democracy..!!
Whether all those assumptions I made came true or not, we know one fact for sure...
Enough!!

Much of a fuzz was done about that last step done.. though in my personal opinion it was very much predictive.. I don’t know why.. but that’s my feeling.. may be coz there was much of pressure from outside..

Actually I’m not aware of the rules for candidates.. but as far as I heard.. they should be members of a recognized political party.. meaning that Nawal el sa3dawy.. and others won’t be able to run for the elections..

I totally agree to all the assumptions u made..

Mubarak is going to win.. this time with real elections.. w ma7adesh y2dar yfta7 bo2o..

After all.. I’m still optimistic about it.. don’t ask me why..

Hey bluelue.. I hate that novel "Animal Farm".. and about my optimism.. I guess a little bit of optimism is important in all what is surrounding us..
