Cairo Clean Up
Schwer hier jemanden ohne Lächeln auf dem Gesicht zu treffen. Die Flaggenverkäufer machen immer noch ein gutes Geschäft auf dem Tahrir-Square und viele wollen einem erzählen, wie stolz sie sind, wie glücklich. Sie reden davon, dass sie sich in ihrem eigenen Land wieder zu Hause fühlen. Und dafür malen sie auch neue Zebrastreifen, fegen die Straßen und streichen die Bordsteine.
The Muslim Brotherhood explained
Werden die Muslimbrüder Ägypten eine Dosis Taliban verabreichen oder dabei helfen das Land in Richtung Demokratie zu steuern? Dieser Fragestellung sind Jack Shenker und Brian Whitaker vom Guardian nachgegangen.
When the call first went out for mass pro-change protests on 25 January, the brotherhood responded as it always has to any major anti-government activity originating outside its own sphere of influence – it dithered. With that dithering came a loss of credibility, as the demonstrations gathered momentum and coalesced into nothing short of a revolutionary challenge to 30 years of entrenched dictatorship.
Now, though – having been wrong-footed and overtaken by largely non-religious young activists – the brotherhood is seeking to regain its standing as the country’s leading opposition movement, without turning either local or western opinion against it.
