it's sts so i mentioned that last week
injection president uh... morrissey
coming off of the sort of mass of kudos you god for
not even really brokering
you just broker a truce between hamas and israel
in some ways he just made two separate deals
one was with commas for them to uh...
cease
attacking israel and one was with israel to cease attacking gaza
and the commitments that
how maas and israel made where to egypt
not to each other
uh... that's small technical detail but
it's an interesting dynamic that's going on there
and last week
monomer c
uh...
basically put out a decree
executive orders on thursday
guess they work on thanksgiving in egypt
saying that
saying essentially that
he has all sorts of
dictatorial powers instead mean is saying essentially there's no checks and
balance on his apart
you can basically do whatever he wants
i think that's a fair assessment that's a fair assessment only thing that they
would say is that
he's claiming this power in till they right new constitution regular will be
to guess forgive me
he's saying it's temporary
just like every other power grab that has ever taken place in the history of
the world
he also gave them a bit more time to write this constitution after making
this decree
right know that it happened before
but that the other thing was those that
the judiciary
is still very default into the old regime
so there's another
almond of this what yes you still have institutions
that have their own sort of of loyalties the military in this case
unlike most power grabs is not necessarily fully on board with the
president it's more like a don't mess with us we don't mess with you type of
situation
and
israelis are the courts that have been
serve in some way
uh... disempowered
and so this has broken apart
the movement
that centrally
got mubarak out
so you now have
these are the religious and secular wings al the dot here movement
have now split apart and it is caused uh...
riding it is caused
protests
is caused arrests
crackdowns
uh... different attacks on some of the secular groups
i think uh... we now have two dead four hundred and fifty wounded
at about two hundred fifty arrested
on sunday
more she's decree
which limits the power of the courts
um...
to intervene in the
broader assembly
his not being uh... well-received across agents in civil society and like uh...
michael just said he sort of backing off in a little bit but not in any
meaningful way
so with this will continue and we will see what happens
uh...
have read people who say
it's a big reason for concern i've read other people who say
the upshot is is that
he doesn't have the ability to consolidate power likable bar acted
but his wheels already could it's more of a party thing an individual thing
in this situation
we shall see
