Galal Amin : what is Happening To Egypt !?

Egyptian thinker and writer  Galal Amin was the guest of Yousri Fouda’s show “Last word” last Friday on air and as expected the it was a must see show. You can watch the interview after the break.

The man who wrote “Whatever happened to the Egyptians ??” discussed what was happening to Egypt currently from his own point of view and anyone will agree that :

• The fiasco of the parliamentary elections is an evidence that the regime is preparing us for something worse than succession especially with the media crackdown taking place. “ I do not know what is worse than Gamal Mubarak taking over the rule”
• The Egyptian regime is a soft state. The law is only applied to protect the regime’s interest.
• There is a huge similarity between the 6 months prior to the 23rd July coup in 1952 and nowadays. “and when will the army move !!?”
• He is optimistic regardless of what is happening as Egypt saw similar days and even worse throughout its history especially in the last 200 years. 
• The professor of economics in AUC believes that we are living in a modern day occupation where the U.S gives orders from its embassy to the regime.
• He spoke also about the middle class and its evolution from the 1930s till 1970s and then how it is being destroyed currently.
• We are the final stage of that era "indirectly"
