Yes Gamal Mubarak is a candidate to become one of the world’s most influential people of the year and the pros mentioned in his favor are disturbing to me :
He used a recent U.S. visit to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to repair lukewarm relations between Egypt and the U.S.Is the United States rethinking about junior again or what ?? And with my all respect since when a partisan official “which is his official position in Egypt as far as we know” visits another country to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian !!??
Appearing in the Time 100 list of the year is a big push for Gamal Mubarak for sure even if he does not reach to the finals , already up till now surprisingly he received “832,844 votes” !!
Gamal Mubarak is influential in Egypt indeed, he is currently ruling indirectly.
I would thank again My dear friend Ahmed Shokeir for posting the news first in his blog , dear Shokeir is also asking Egyptians to choose our Egyptian most influential people of year list.
My personal feeling is that the army wont allow it even if he is backed up by the US he is hated by most and the majority do not want us to be another Syria. He has the right to run as a citizen but since he decided to make use of his position as the presidents son he forfeited the chance to be seen as a fair candidate and more important his opinions are not different from the current regime. The US will be risking a lot by backing him up.
ReplyDeleteA quick browsing through the list would tell you that many of the included names have nothing to do with influence. Many of these people are nothing but some names that, thanks to the stupid media, became famous. What influence would a freak such as that pregnant man possess to be on the Time list?!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if someone can "pay" to be there...

@ mido: and based on what you are ruling out a very strong role for the army in a country that has been ruled by someone from the army since 1950's?
