Mubarak's gadfly prophesies a peaceful Islamic revolution

Article Abstract:

Egypt is being severely damaged by its involvement in the Arab-Israeli peace process, according to Magdi Hussein, editor of the twice-weekly Islamist newspaper Al Shaab. There is a serious social divide in Egypt between the rich, who benefit from the country's improving balance of payments, and the poor, for whom life is becoming increasingly expensive. He believes that the Egyptian government is taking an increasingly strong line against Muslim institutions, and that this violates people's individual liberties.

Some fundamental difficulties

Article Abstract:

President Ali Kafi of Algeria visited President Hosni Mubarak to discuss co-operation between Egypt and Algeria against terrorism. The Egyptian government's security services have licence to arrest and torture and police units have a shoot-to-kill policy. Foreign television crews cannot film without supervision from the Information Ministry. The Islamic Movement is an indirect threat but the army may act for the people.
