FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The army has repeatedly warned of the threat of violence from the protesters, but has agreed to withdraw its officers from the main squares.
The Muslim Brotherhood-backed Freedom and Justice Party won the election with just under half the seats, and will have most say in appointing members to the committee that will revise Egypt’s constitution. Many of the largely secular youth activists behind the demonstrations suspect it of doing a “dirty deal” with the army to share power.
Ahmed Saif al-Islam, one of Egypt’s best-known human rights lawyers, who was detained during the revolution, said the Islamists were keen to stop a second phase of the revolution.
“I hope they do not succeed,” he said. “I don’t think they will, not only because of the young revolutionaries who criticise them but because their own younger members will not accept the orders of the leadership.”
He said the strength of the protests would determine how far and how fast the military eventually went in allowing civilian rule. The Brotherhood says it continues to oppose the army but does not want to disrupt progress towards constitutional rule.
Although the emergency laws have remained in place, their restrictions on political parties, freedom of speech and demonstrations have been greatly weakened in practice. But the use of military courts to try protesters has been stepped up, and is a major source of conflict with activists.
