Egypt::Articles

Egypt's Bloody Sunday
Mariz Tadros
MERIP Online - October, 2011
The demonization of the Maspero protesters is partly in keeping with standard operating procedure for the Egyptian state in dealing with political dissidents, whether they are Copts, workers or youth activists. The state always presents itself as protecting a silent majority from an unruly few. When the dissidents are Christian, however, the demonization is served up with a twist: Copts are implicitly or explicitly depicted as lacking patriotism, even as traitors.
Egypt's fragmenting revolution
Steve Negus
The Guardian - September, 2011
An uprising like Tahrir is an emotional state, not an institution - it has no means of resolving internal disagreements, and when the initial sense of euphoria and unity wears off, it must eventually yield to a more formal body with a more formal decision-making process.
Egypt's Israel Problem
Yasmine El Rashidi
New York Review of Books - September, 2011
Government sources have since told me that the SCAF and the interim cabinet are being "forced to seriously consider" public demands to reset its Israel policies and that "discussions are taking place." Troop allowances in the Sinai are likely to be where the interim government presses for change, as well as re-examining the controversial gas deal.
Cairo's Revolutionaries Change Tactics
Max Strasser
Middle East Channel - August, 2011
Many activists are looking to push for change not just through demonstrations and sit-ins, but also by building civic education programs, providing legal counsel to nascent labor unions and those arrested by the military, and establishing a democratic political culture that wasn't allowed under President Hosni Mubarak. Although parliamentary elections are looming, many think that for now, transforming the political culture needs to be a priority.
What Does the U.S. Want to Talk to the Brotherhood About?
Nathan Brown
The National Interest - August, 2011
What is the real U.S. approach to the Brotherhood--the Ikhwan--and why does it have so much trouble explaining itself? Should the United States be choosing this time to wade into struggles for Egypt's political soul by "engaging" the Muslim Brotherhood? Having normal diplomatic contact with the Ikhwan makes sense. But trumpeting the policy in such a way is a mistake--it generates exaggerated expectations and fears all around. More importantly, it risks distracting from the real issue, which is whether Egyptian political forces can engage each other, not whether they can engage the United States.
Egypt's Islamists do not conform to any single Brotherhood
Issandr El Amrani
The National - August, 2011
Egypt's Islamists will probably form the largest ideological bloc in parliament, but not necessarily the largest voting bloc. This is because some of them may prefer entering into a political alliance with centrist secular parties (as the Muslim Brotherhood and some others are already working towards) rather than forming a more controversial hard-right alliance.
Revolution and Repression on the Banks of the Suez Canal
Joel Beinin
Jadaliyya - July, 2011
Seven subsidiary companies of the Suez Canal Authority in Suez, Isma'iliyya, and Port Said employ about 9,000 workers in ship repairs and other maritime services. They went on strike on June 12 demanding parity with the wages and benefits of workers directly employed by the canal authority. This would amount to a salary salary increase of 40 percent. Workers raised this demand long before January 25, 2011.
