COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
The dancing,
beer-drinking woman who would be Egypt's next president
Running against
al-Sisi might be a risky prospect, but Mona Prince cuts a bold figure in this
repressive society
"Abdel Fatah
al-Sisi won the last election with 96% of the vote"
Nonsense, Egypt ceased being a democracy with the overthrow
of Mohamed Morsi.
Morsi was Egypt's first and only democratic president.
Quoting Al-Sisi's official vote tally is precisely the same
thing as quoting the election results under the old Soviet system or indeed the
referendum votes once Hitler was ensconced as dictator. Always not too far from
100%.
Mona Prince appears an energetic and challenging character,
but she as much chance of being "elected" in Egypt as I have.
Morsi was overthrown by cooperation between the CIA and
Egypt's armed forces.
