Egypt has a president. Without any power. The parliament is gone as well and the military has all the saying for the upcoming events. Besides of this the German government is prosecuting militant Salafi organisations in Germany. The mixture makes it somehow interesting.

People Downtown are celebrating the victory of Morsi, the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood, in a peaceful way. At least it seems that he is the winner. Of course not accepted by his opponent Shafik. The final result will be published on Thursday. The military wants to hand over power at the end of June. (Whatever that means under the actual circumstances).

We wait and see.

Diary, observations generally

about reality

Egypt is waiting for the verdict against its former president, most probable announced tomorrow. The media speak from rising tension and feared confrontations. The army prepared for the worst, tanks and soldiers are employed.

But is this the reality of the real people? Walking through the streets and even on Midan Tharir I only see people who have enough to do to struggle with their daily life and to come along. For them the most imporant thing is stability and the possibility to survive.

I do not expect anything serious tomorrow. And I do not expect anything at all, that would improve the situation of the majority here in Egypt.
