The election results from the first round of the convoluted parliamentary election system in Egypt continue to trickle in, but with a 62 percent turnout the results are much as they were claimed yesterday, an overwhelming victory for the two Islamist factions.
The bigger of the two parties, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, has secured around 40 percent of the vote so far, and looks to play a decisive role in Egypt’s first freely elected parliament.
Their top priority, according to their leadership, is to end the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAR) dominance of the country, saying they want a return to civilian leadership as soon as possible and warning that the junta faces more major protests if they continue to cling to power.
The first round of voting covered nine of the country’s 27 provinces. The round is expected to last through January, and is just one of several sets of votes likely to be stagger over the next several years.
The hunta saved their party, and the lives of many Egyptians. They are right to be clear and move in the direction of civilian leadership, but much of the gratitude is owed to the much pooh poohed hunta. Without their decisive action, removal of the regime, and the subequent control of hotheads, the country could have descended into a nighmare of civil war, and horrendous abuses of civilians, as we have seen Libya descended into. There would have been no elections, and for years, they would have suffered the bitter harvest of civil war. As it turned out, they were very, very lucky to have a professional military organization that stepped in to create space for election and regime change.
That "professional military organization" helped keep a dictator in power for 30 years and has so far not yielded any authority..
Beware of Americans wearing Arab clothes. They mean mischief. They seek control. They serve American interests and we all know what that means.
Making any newly-created, despot-free nation a no-go area for Americans is essential. Don't let the wolves into the hen house!
