Whoever is...It doesn't matter who they appoint. Whoever is in the government, including Sisi, will be in the face of the canon and will be attacked by half the population and be called liars, thief, dictators, etc., whatever they do. That's the nature of things in Egypt, especially in a culture where the government is expected to provide free education, free healthcare, government jobs for anyone without a job... etc.<br /><br />Would be nice if they can just hand the whole thing to someone else to rule the country, but after the January 25 2011 disaster and the dissolution of the ruling National Democratic Party, there is no other entity that can be in charge of the country, except the military, and the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB is out, so the military is what's left. Everyone else is a bunch of political clowns (just like they always were). Sisi is an independent with a military background and has the support of the establishment, and the majority of the people, partly because the only other choice is/was... Morsi. But will any of the political parties or political groups choose someone to run against Sisi for President in the next election? Doesn't matter, whatever they do is irrelevant, because they are irrelevant, even if Sisi tries to treat them like they are relevant.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-24206811213687191382015-05-21T19:49:54.398+02:002015-05-21T19:49:54.398+02:00Sisi shares most of El-Zend's political and ot...Sisi shares most of El-Zend's political and other outlooks. The corrupt executive branch is of a similar mind to the most extreme sections of the judiciary.<br /><br />The presidency and the cabinet don't care what anyone thinks anymore. They are not reluctant to appoint those who represent and openly articulate their real tendencies. They have totally detached themselves from the outside world (including the situation of the vast majority of Egyptians).<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if Sisi believes that January 25 was an international conspiracy or if he believed in other conspiracy theories as well. It would be more surprising if he does not.Orange Ketchuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147889868883061979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-9389542964550511412015-05-21T03:32:42.187+02:002015-05-21T03:32:42.187+02:00I can't believe Sisi would appoint this kook. ...I can't believe Sisi would appoint this kook. Perhaps Sisi thinks El-Zend will be useful in the sense of doing whatever Sisi tells him. And insulting the US, and calling for Sharia, are surely populist among some large classes of Egyptians.Jasonhttp://elnaschiewatch.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
