Modern Egypt: a brief history!

Hosni Mubarak (1981- Present) Put a strong hold & control over

political oppositions & the press Supported the gulf war (1991), but, opposed the Iraq war

(2003) Refrained from making major economic changes at the

beginning Worsening economic situation & failings of government

functions & services has led to extreme poverty & dissatisfaction

Publically, Mubarak is critical of Israel and US policy in the region

Resistance to reform (especially political reform)- Egypt has been under emergency rule since 1981

Muslim Brotherhood 2.0

The MB emerges with a peace-making tune to: Christians Secular Egyptians Advocating democracy & political engagement

In contradiction to other declarations Limiting rights of women and Copts Hardline on social & economic issues

Government crack down & ban The MB has popular support throughout Egypt

The Future is Uncertain

After Mubarak Who will be next? (Gamal Mubarak or

Omar Suleiman or the army???) Free speech & free press? Economy- would reforms continue? Politics- future of democracy in Egypt? US- hands-off policy? What would become of Egypt-US-Israel

relationship? Will the MB become even more popular?
