While there is never a beginning in looking at a situation historically, the British conquest of Egypt in 1882 might be a good place to start. British control and influence continued, until the last British collaborator King Farouk was overthrown in 1952 by the Free Officers Movement, assisted by the CIA. Since that time, Egypt has had a succession of military heads-Naguib, Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak. The short-lived government of Mohamed Morsi is the exception. Now the military is back in the saddle.
(Cairo, Feb 18, 2016) Shoukry described Munich agreement as "starting point" to push towards a permanent solution in Syria
In 2013 Egypt had a tough year.
Obviously, one of the most outstanding signs of the deep crisis Egypt is undergoing right now is the wide gap separating the vision of the Egyptians who took to the streets on June 30th against Mohamed Morsi and that of the Western media.
My goal for the remaining years of my life is to use my experience and knowledge to help Egypt, the land where I was born and which I deeply love.
Over-population: This is the third challenge facing Egypt. Too many people and not enough resources combine to create Egypt's third major challenge.
I am one of those millions of Egyptians who strongly believe that the youth-led movement Tamarrod (Rebel), that was calling peacefully, for weeks for an early presidential election, is not a military coup but a popular uprising. After Mohamed Morsi stubbornly refused citizen' reasonable demands, the army stepped in to preserve order. It is a classic legitimate step in the spirit of the true meaning of democracy and will be taught in political science classes the world over.
Although he said he's always hesitant about the role of the military in politics, Canadian community activist Ali Mallah fully supports the ouster of Egyptian president Morsi.
When gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on a crowd of wedding guests outside a Coptic Christian church, in the Waraa district of Cairo recently, it was but part of an escalating campaign of deadly attacks against Christians in Egypt, in the wake of the ouster of president Morsi. The attacks target mainly Christians - whom the Muslim Brotherhood blames for the ouster of president Morsi - and police and army personnel.
On March 10th the registration to run for Egypt's top political office takes place. In my opinion there is a short list of three candidates for the position, one of which will most likely win. The list includes only those who have the financial backing (estimated to be at least $30 million i.e. $1 per voter) to mount an effective campaign.
