Egitto, "Al Sisi fa fuori dall'intelligence il figlio Mahmoud": bocciato per non aver prevenuto le proteste anti-regime dello scorso settembre. Dal controspionaggio per la sicurezza interna del Paese ad un incarico diplomatico a Mosca.
Il primogenito del presidente egiziano Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Mahmoud, è pronto a cambiare giacca e incarico, secondo quanto rivelato dal sito di notizie anti-regime Mada Masr. Il report pubblicato mercoledì rivela una serie di retroscena e ha il supporto di diverse conferme, tra cui quelle di alcuni funzionari del Gis, il Servizio centrale di Intelligence del Cairo. Il trasloco di Mahmoud al-Sisi dalle stanze segrete del principale pezzo del mukhabarat (il termine arabo per indicare i servizi segreti) egiziano a un prestigioso alloggio dell’ambasciata moscovita sarebbe previsto per i primi mesi del 2020 e potrebbe avere una durata piuttosto lunga, si parla addirittura di anni.
UN Experts Call Morsi's Death in Egypt 'arbitrary killing' - Middle East Observer. An independent panel of United Nations experts has said the death of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi in June could amount to “a state-sanctioned arbitrary killing”.
“Morsi was held in conditions that can only be described as brutal, particularly during his five-year detention in the Tora prison complex,” a statement from the office of the UN high commissioner for human rights said. His death “after enduring those conditions could amount to a state-sanctioned arbitrary killing”, the statement added. Morsi, Egypt’s first democratically elected president, died on June 17 while standing trial for charges that he and legal observers said were politically motivated.

Defying a ban on protesting without a permit, thousands took to the streets in the capital Cairo and other cities on Friday in response to calls for demonstrations against alleged government corruption.

Egypt military calls for Sisi to be ousted. Officers in Egypt’s military called on citizens to take to the streets and bring an end to President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s regime, Al-Khaleej Online reported yesterday.
The Egypt Officers Front, which said it is loyal to former chief of staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Sami Anan, said it would protect the demonstrators. On Facebook, the group said the army would protect the demonstrators exactly as happened on 25 January 2011, when the regime of Hosni Mubarak was ousted. It named Dr Mahmoud Refaat as the official spokesman for Sami Anan and called for everyone to contact him for information. Refaat approved the reports and said he would release the names of the officers who would protect demonstrators, calling them “the honourable officers of the Egyptian army.”

Six years ago, Egyptian security forces killed at least 900 individuals and injured more than a thousand during the dispersal of sit-ins in Rabaa al-Adawiya and al-Nahda squares in Greater Cairo.

Egypt and the IMF: Success or failure? In July, the International Monetary Fund approved the final tranche of Egypt’s $12bn rescue loan, marking the end of a programme aimed at pulling the country out of a protracted economic crisis brought on by years of political upheaval.
But three years on, the effects of the IMF deal with Egypt have been mixed. In its final review of the programme, the IMF praised the Egyptian government for executing a package of fiscal austerity measures - including spending and subsidy cuts, privatisations, and a currency devaluation - designed to make Egypt more attractive to international capital. The Egyptian government has for the most part followed the IMF’s strictures, and while the Fund will not continue to provide budgetary support, the Ministry of Finance is planning to request continued technical assistance from the IMF.
Yet while its macroeconomic indicators, including GDP growth, have improved there are several worrying trends for the country’s economy and financial health.

Coverage of his death, at least outside of Egypt, was extensive. It was notable for several critical issues that must be highlighted if we are to understand the perspective of tens, if not hundreds, of millions of Egyptians, Arabs and Muslims.

Egypt: Six years after the coup, what has US military assistance bought us? The death of former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi just weeks before the sixth anniversary of the military coup that ousted him from office is a dark - but fitting - symbol of Egypt’s devolution back into autocracy.
But after an unpredictable decade of upheaval, revolution, and counter-revolution one thing has remained constant - the annual flow of billions of dollars in US military aid. An entitled programme Successive US administrations have treated military aid to Egypt almost as an entitlement programme. And while previous US administrations have viewed Egypt as vital to maintaining regional stability, the anniversary of the deadly putsch and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s brutal rule warrant serious reevaluation of this relationship in Washington. Since the 1970s the US has provided substantial military aid to Egypt as part of the Egypt-Israel peace agreement set at Camp David. Despite such a staggering investment, the US found itself unable to challenge the violence of the 2013 coup. EXCLUSIVE: Egyptian officials threatened Morsi days before death.

While the news of the death of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi has attracted widespread Arab - and to a lesser extent - international media coverage, it has not received much attention from newspapers in Egypt. The 67-year-old, who collapsed during a court appearance on Monday and was later declared dead in a Cairo hospital, was the country's first democratically elected president. He came to office in June 2012, a year after the Arab Spring uprising saw the end of President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.
But Morsi only served one year of his four-year mandate before he faced massive street protests and was removed in a military coup, led by Egypt's current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in July 2013. On Tuesday, there was almost no front page coverage of Morsi's death in Egypt's major newspapers. Instead, the news was reported briefly on the inside pages which are usually devoted to monitoring criminal cases. His supporters say the charges against him were politically motivated.

Elisa Campioni - #MohammedMorsi R.I.P La sua vicenda è lampante... Obituary: Egypt's first freely elected President Mohamed Morsi. Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, has died at the age of 67 after a court appearance in Cairo, according to state media. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood organisation, Morsi came to office in June 2012 after winning 51.7 percent of the vote in a national election, in the aftermath of Egypt's 2011 revolution. However, just one short, roiling year later, Morsi's time in office was cut short in a military takeover amid massive popular protests against his rule.
He was overthrown on July 3, 2013 in a coup staged by current President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and placed under house arrest before being moved to prison. Egyptians vote in referendum aimed at extending president el-Sissi’s rule to 2030. Egyptians cast their ballots Saturday on the first of three days of voting on constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to stay in power until 2030 and broaden the military’s role. Critics have blasted the proposed changes as another major step toward an authoritarian government perhaps even more severe than that of former President Hosni Mubarak, whose nearly three decades of autocratic rule was ended by a popular uprising in 2011. The nationwide referendum came amid an unprecedented crackdown on dissent in recent years. El-Sissi’s government has arrested thousands of people, most of them Islamists but also prominent secular activists, and rolled back freedoms won eight years ago.

A proposal to amend a host of constitutional articles — including presidential term limits — has been submitted to Parliament, Ali Abdel Aal, the legislature’s speaker, announced on Sunday during a general assembly meeting. The proposal was submitted by head of the state-allied Alliance to Support Egypt coalition MP Abdel Hady al-Qasabi and signed by one fifth of members of the House of Representatives.
In discussing the proposal ahead of Sunday’s session, Qasabi told parliamentary journalists that the amendments would extend the presidential term from four to six years, and, if passed, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi would be able to run for two further terms under the new term limits. Other sources from the Alliance to Support Egypt coalition, who spoke to Mada Masr on condition of anonymity, confirm Qasabi’s account of the proposed amendments, telling Mada Masr that Sisi will be able to run for elections after his second term concludes in 2022, which could keep him in office until 2034.
