Egypten

Militärregimen i Egypten återinför undantagslagarna från Mubaraks tid. Landets invånare lider av det utbredda våldet, kriminaliteten och strejkerna. Många verkar stöda åtgärden i brist på något bättre alternativ.

Egyptens ambssadör i Israel har kallats att förklara ett uttalande från Egyptens premiärminister där han igår sade att fredavtalet med Israel inte är heligt och att den alltid är öppen för diskussion.

Controversial comeback for Egypt’s emergency laws
"Egypt’s Emergency Laws, whose suspension was one of the January 25th revolution’s signal victories, made an unexpected comeback this week – provoking outrage among political activists and human rights groups. But among ordinary Egyptians, who have coped with months of strikes, crime and violence, many are welcoming the move by Egypt’s transitional military government.
“I‘ve spoken with my family and the sense from them is that they don’t feel safe anymore,” Reem Ahmed, a 23-year-old journalism student at Cairo University, told The Media Line. “They are worried that protests and clashes could happen at any moment anywhere they go. At the same time they think the military is the right leadership for this future.”As an activist who participated in the uprising that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year, she herself is conflicted. “It’s a tough call, because I know that freedom is not part of the emergency laws, but when a majority of Egyptians support the military, it‘s hard to tell them otherwise,” she said."
