My dear friends Bassem Sabry and Hany Rasmy complied this amazing list of all those potential presidential candidates. Of course if we are speaking seriously only 10 potential presidential candidates from that long list are considered the top and serious ones.
The top ten are with no specific order :
- Amr Moussa
- Abdel Moneim Abu El Fatouh
- Hazem Saleh Abu Ismail
- Ahmed Shafik
- Hamdeen Sabhi
- Khaled Ali
- Mansour Hassan
- Mohamed Salim El Awa
- Abu El Ezz El Hariri
- Hisham El Bastiwisi
@Zeinobia -- Bassem Sabry's list has been being copied a lot around news sites, Arabic chat forums, and the blogosphere, sometimes with trivial changes, but without crediting him. Good for you for giving credit.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, notice that number 4, Mohamed El Naschie, is described as an "engineer". That is correct. And the reason that it is correct is that I corrected Bassem, directing him to my blog. Originally El Naschie was called a "Nanotechnology scientist", which is untrue. El Naschie has never published anything significant about nanotechnology, nor has he ever worked in a nanotechnology lab in the public or private domain. El Naschie is not a nanotechnologist in any sense.
There is a huge battle going on in the comments at Bassem Sabry's list, between defenders of Mohamed El Naschie, and defenders of Ahmed Zewail.
