Egypt Governors: Military & Brotherhood Status

10/9/2012

So we can see that the percentage of governors who were former military has decreased substantially since the uprising – from 20/27 position (75%) to 14/27 (52%).  However, it is interesting to note that 4 of the new appointments are clear MB sympathizers, with strong ties to the organization.

Additionally, Osama Kamal (who is the Engineers Syndicate undersecretary) won the election by running on the Brotherhood ticket - but he has not been classified as specifically MB based as he does not have direct ties/membership with the group.

The four new MB members are detailed in the below table:

Amnesty International Publishes Two New Reports on Police Repression in Egypt

10/8/2012

 
Report 1: Brutality unpunished and unchecked: Egypt’s military kills and torture protesters with impunity highlights patterns of violations at three key demonstrations, and documents the brutal crackdown unleashed by the army during the 16-month rule by  the SCAF.
  
It focuses on:
  • The Maspero protests of October 2011, when 27 mainly Coptic Christian protesters were killed; 
  • Events outside the Cabinet Offices in  December 2011, when 17 protesters died; 
  • The Abbaseya sit-in in May 2012, when up to 12 people were killed.
Report 2: Agents of repression: Egypt’s police and the case for reform, outlines the total impunity enjoyed by the three main police forces in Egypt – the Central Security Forces (CSF), widely known as the riot police; the General Investigations Police, Egypt’s national police force; and the abolished State Security Investigation (SSI) service, highlighting the urgent need for sweeping reform of the police force. 

The report focuses on three key events:
  • Police violence during clashes with protesters at Mohamed Mahmoud Street near the Ministry of Interior in November 2011.
  • Police abuses during protests in the same street following the killings of Al-Ahly football club supporters in February 2012. 
  • Police violence during clashes in front of Nile City Towers, in Cairo, in August 2012.
