Egyptian Chronicles: Mohamed El-Baradei is Persona non grata in his country official media

Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei, the current director general of the IAEA and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is a Persona non grate in Egypt’s official media. There were orders of not hosting Dr. El-Baradei in the Egyptian TV and Radio not to mention the official newspapers should not praise him as usual.

Last week Mona Al-Shazely hosted Dr. El-Baradei in her show 10 PM and it seems that the regime is extremely angry from what El-Baradei has said in the show.

El-Baradei did not say anything except the truth in a very polite diplomatic way . Mona El-Shazely dragged him to speak about Egypt after it was expected that he would speak mainly about the IAEA,Iran,Israel and Syria.

He criticized the regime ,which means Mubarak for the terrible conditions in Egypt whether on the Political or the economic or the social level. He said that we needed to cancel the stupid article of the so-called 50 % from the members in the Parliament should be from the labour and the farmers from the constitution.

I totally agree with him on this point,already I do not understand it, a farmer can be a worker in a factory in the morning and the worker can a farmer ,it has no meaning at all .

He said that the education in Egypt was better in the early days of the revolution unlike now where 30% of the Egyptians can’t read or write and 20% of the Egyptians live under the poverty line.

I believe it is more that 20% with my all respect to him.

Now this is what made the regime goes coco :

El-Baradei demands that the Presidential terms will be limited only to 2 terms.
El-Baradei does not like or approve the conditions of the Egyptian citizen now.
He is ready to stand with any citizen in a battle against the regime.
His relations with the people are much better and stronger than the regime.
He is not going to run for the director general of the IAEA position for the fourth time again.
He is going back to Egypt and help in the general reform movement,he is not looking for any official position.

Well I do not expect him that he will be given an official position either. Despite I believe he can be good candidate for either the foreign minister position or the secretary general of the Arab league.

The problem for the regime is that they can’t accuse El-Baradei anything especially they defend and praise him day and night.

I respect him so much after this interview ,seriously he did not lie despite he did not say the whole truth

BY the way Al Dostor once chose him among a list to become the next President of Egypt. To be honest I do not see any reason why he won’t be a good candidate for 2011 elections ,after all he is better than GM 1000 times. Who said that we do not have anyone except Gamal or the MB ??

Anyhow El-Baradei should be honoured that he is in the Black list of Mubarak’s media.
