The American discourse concerning Egypt changed. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted yesterday that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak may stay longer in the power of what the opposition wants to ensure elections in September. Mubarak vowed not to attend September's presidential election following protests about 200 thousand people calling for his resignation, but the protesters demanding that he left office immediately, while some sources say the United States is negotiating his departure.
Even the president Barack Obama said Tuesday that Mubarak should begin the transition to a new government and said he heard the voices of the protesters. "The transition should be meaningful, it must be peaceful and must start now." But yesterday Clinton and Obama himself qualified. The secretary of state, said the change of government "should decide the Egyptian people." Meanwhile, Barack expressed his hope that a transition "orderly" and "significant" give way to a "representative government." Asked whether the Muslim Brotherhood (see profiles) represent a "threat," Obama replied: "I think they are one of the factions in Egypt.
They have the support of most Egyptians, but are organized. Have some anti-American aspects, is obvious. " This movement, together with other opposition parties, met yesterday with Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman to try to overcome the political crisis. By Muslim Brotherhood leaders attended and Mohamed Mursi Saad Katatni, the chairmen of the opposition Wafd (liberal) Saeed Al Badawi, and Tamagu (left), Rifat Said, as well as the newly appointed secretary general of the ruling National Party Democratic Party (NDP), Hosam Badrawi.
"The meeting today (yesterday) was just a first step to examine the system and see if it really has good intentions," said Katatni. The Government recognized as "legitimate" demands of the thousands of Egyptians and pledged to negotiate constitutional reforms and an end to the Emergency Law, in force since 1981.
In a statement issued after the meeting, the Egyptian government to amend specified sections 76 and 77 of the Constitution, which stipulate the requirements for presidential candidate and the number of terms to which you can choose the head of state. The conclave left image unprecedented in the recent history of Egypt at the head of an oval table beneath a large portrait of President Hosni Mubarak, Suleiman stood, and sides by representatives of the major opposition forces, including Katatni.
The opposition asked Suleiman immediately assume the powers of President Mubarak, but he refused. "We have asked the President to delegate his powers to Vice President, in accordance with the powers conferred on it by Article 139 (the Constitution), but rejected it," said an official of an opposition party, who requested anonymity.
Egypt now totals 13 consecutive days of demonstrations in major cities, demanding the departure of Hosni Mubarak, who has nearly 30 years in power. Since 25 January there was 300 dead and five thousand injured in the protests last Friday just 38 people were killed and at least 900 thousand were injured, including 500 police.
Twelve of the deaths occurred in Cairo, one at Giza, three in Port Said, eight in Alexandria, Suez and 12 in two in Mansoura. Are at the forefront of the barricades and demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak. West's fears, but is more pragmatic than they seem, are the Muslim Brotherhood, who want a role in the change in Egypt.
In Tahrir Square in the center of Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood distribute food, care for the wounded and are on the barricades to defend it against Mubarak supporters. You can mix with secular opposition, leftists and young people using social networking sites. For more than a year was chosen as supreme leader Mohammed Badie, a veterinarian of 67 years, emphasizing that being willing to negotiate with the regime transition to democracy, after Mubarak's resignation.
Egyptian Armed Forces led by Hassan Al Rawini are ultimately the only authority with the capacity to tell the president Hosni Mubarak has time to leave office. The most powerful institution in Egypt and tight signal has not withdrawn its support if the former commander of the Air Force, 82, and access the protesters demand that the president step down after three decades of autocratic rule.
If the armed forces the resignation request to Mubarak to prevent the continuation of violence, could encourage the advent of the first civilian president, but would also be the beginning of the end of the control that has been in power since the overthrow of the monarchy in Egypt a coup in 1952.
Only 15 days ago he was considered the successor to his father as head of Egypt. However, Gamal Mubarak appears today in full disgrace following the popular uprising and takeover by the military regime. The reorganization announced on Saturday in the dome of the National Democratic Party (NDP) confirmed that the youngest son of President Hosni Mubarak and his political allies have been out of power.
The new leader of the NDP is Hosam Badrawi, appointed general secretary and chairman of the political committee. Badrawi, professor of medicine, appears to be in a better position to carry out an opening for the opposition to Gamal Mubarak and his allies. However, President Hosni Mubarak's NDP remains.
Jerusalem boasts of being the only democracy in the Middle East and never misses a chance to denounce the absence of democratic norms in their Arab neighbors, but the popular uprising against the regime in Egypt do not sympathize. Initially, the leaders kept a prudent silence before alerting unanimously risk of "instability" regional.
"(...) There are two visions of the free world and the world radical. What will win in Egypt? The answer is crucial to its future and the region, "said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a speech in Parliament. Meanwhile, the Nobel Prize for Peace, Shimon Peres, said: "If, after the elections, we have an extremist religious dictatorship, what good are these democratic elections?"
