EGYPTIAN
PRESIDENCY
30 JUN 2012
As Egypt's first civilian
President Mohamed Morsi's inauguration is celebrated, the world begins to watch
this Muslim Brotherhood leader keenly. Egypt has been traditionally secular
toward its minorities - specially the Coptic Christians - but never before in
recent decades has it been ruled by religious leadership. Hence the added
interest. Considerable power is still wielded by its military clique that is
widely seen as secular and pro- West. Incidentally, Morsi himself holds an
engineering doctorate from a US university.
Yesterday's alleged
'anti-nationals' and 'fanatics' are wielding power today. If they deliver fair
and effective governance it will augur well for world peace and specially for
the Middle East. This great and ancient land of the pyramids will heave a much
deserved sigh of relief. And the Jasmine revolution would have succeeded. Or
else Tahreer Square would once again begin to gather angry people.
