SCAF and the Muslim Brotherhood. Since the most recent but now routine eruptions of violence between street protesters and Egypt’s state, speculation has swirled about the durability of the pact between the Muslim Brotherhood and Egypt’s armed forces.
The elected civilian president, Muslim Brother Mohamed Morsi, has gone to great lengths to assure the Egyptian generals that he fully accepts the economically powerful military that not only survived the dramatic overthrow of longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak but also expanded its influence by leading the 17-month return to civilian rule. Such unconditional assurances from the generals, however, have not been reciprocated. The Egyptian press reports how the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) meets without its “nominal head, President Mohamed Morsi,” while other papers openly call for a new military intervention. The military itself issues ambiguous statements about intervention and then posts messages on social media sites to combat rumors. Revolution as Gambling: Egypt Under the Muslim Brotherhood - Video and audio - News and media. Speaker(s): Dr Hazem Kandil Chair: Professor Fawaz Gerges Recorded on 4 March 2013 in New Theatre, East Building.
Cambridge University's Dr Hazem Kandil will help explain why Egypt's popular uprising has so far failed to overthrow the regime through exploring the positions of the main players in the revolt: the military, security, and the various political factions. Kandil's latest book, Soldiers, Spies and Statesmen: Egypt's Road to Revolt, (Verso, 2012) analyses Egypt’s transformation from military regime to police state, on the road to revolution. Hazem Kandil is the Cambridge University Lecturer in Political Sociology and Fellow of St Catharine’s College.
