General info:
The advisory council on Sunday (12-11-2011) elected Mansour Hassan, as its president. 

OLD LONG INTERVIEW WITH MANSOUR HASSAN I had watched a while back but videos seem to have disappeared: http://egyptianchronicles.blogspot.com/2007/12/mansour-hassan-interview-with-mona.html)  Accoring to Zeinobia, he "was replaced in the Mubarak era "he already resigned after the September 1981 arrests"

The members elected two deputies for Hassan: Abul Ela Mady, president of the Wasat Party, and Sameh Ashour, president of the Lawyers Syndicate.

Mohamed Nour Farahat, a leader from the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, was elected secretary general. Sherif Mohammed Zahran and Abdul Mohammed al-Moghazy were elected assistants to the secretary general.

Ashour told Egypt’s al-Masry al-Youm daily that they were elected in a secret ballot.

The council’s secretary general will act as liaison between the council and the SCAF. The council is to convene at least once a week, but may meet whenever the need arises or upon the request of one-third of its members or the head of the SCAF.

Twenty-four of the council’s 30 members were present at the first meeting. Among the most notable absentees were Coptic businessman and founder of the Free Egyptians Party Naguib Sawiris, presidential hopeful Amr Moussa, and president of al-Wafd Party al-Sayed al-Badawy.

Imagine trying to govern a country that lacks adequate statistics about economic activity, healthcare, crime, education, urban development and environmental pollution.

Imagine a country that relies heavily on tourism but has no figures showing why people visit or what they think of their stay.

Imagine a country that relies heavily on agriculture, and yet has produced no data on the quality of cultivable land since the 1970s.


"In effect, this gives the Egyptian state a monopoly on statistics & for 30 yrs at least central statistics has been headed not by professional statisticians but by a succession of major-generals from the military"

"Anyone wishing to compile data independently, through surveys or interviews, must first obtain a permit from the "General Department for Security" & that even applies to university students"

"The Salafist movement in Alexandria will participate in the political process after years of abstention, Al-Masry Al-Youm reported March 23, citing a group statement. The statement said the group is still deciding how it will enter political life and whether it will submit a candidate in the upcoming parliamentary elections."

Overview:
Egypt’s new interim National Salvation government, headed by Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri, was sworn in by Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi on Dec. 7, state-run Channel 1 TV reported. The ruling military issued a decree that granted el-Ganzouri presidential powers while allowing the military to retain control of military affairs and the judiciary, Al Jazeera reported, citing MENA. After el-Ganzouri was sworn in, Tantawi attended a closed meeting with the National Salvation government, Elyoum Elsabaa reported. Among the new officials chosen, Maj. Gen. Mohamed Ibrahim (former head of the interior ministry's security directorate in Giza province) was appointed interior minister, Al-Masry Al-Youm reported.

Notes on members:

• The fact that several leading public figures under consideration for ministerial portfolios have declined the posts does not bode well for the Ganzouri government’s legitimacy. Prominent journalists Adel Hammouda and Magdy al-Gallad both declined the Information Ministry post, while actor Mohamed Sobhy rejected an offer to lead the Ministry of Culture.  [EgyptSource, English, 12/1/2011] [al-Ahram, English, 12/2/2011] [al-Masry al-Youm, Arabic, 12/2/2011]

• Ganzoury's 'salvation government' sworn in amid skepticism (http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/egypt/ganzourys-salvation-government-sworn-in-amid-skepticism-dp2.html, 12/7/2011)
  
  The choice of General Mohamed Ibrahim, former head of the Giza Security Directorate, as the new interior minister heightened the agitation of activists towards the new Cabinet.
  
  “As activists, we know his history and the vicious way he dealt with demonstrators,” said Ingy Hamdy, spokesperson of the April 6 Youth Movement, adding that they do not acknowledge El-Ganzoury nor his new Cabinet.
  
  She said Ibrahim was responsible for the notorious violent raid on the Sudanese refugees’ sit-in in Mostafa Mahmoud Square in December 2005, which left at least 28 dead.
  
  
• Additional Info on Interior Minister http://news.egypt.com/english/permalink/70008.html
  
  For the Interior Ministry, he proposed Mohamed Ibrahim Youssef, the former Giza governorate security director until 2000, after which he served as assistant minister for economic security for six months before former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly refused to renew his term in 2001.

  "We are preparing a list of youth figures that can hold this position instead of those old names, the majority of whom were aides of Habib El-Adly (former interior minister)," said Ahmed Meshaly, member of the General Coalition of Police Officers.
  
  He stressed that the coalition refused Major-General Abdel Rehim Qenawy, nominated by El-Ganzoury, claiming that he oversaw the rigging of the 2010 parliamentary elections as one of El-Adly's aides.
  
  Meshaly, however, refuted claims that Major-General Mohamed Ibrahim, also nominated by El-Ganzoury, is being tried for killing demonstrators during the Jan. 25 revolution as has been reported recently.
  
  "This one is the former security chief of Giza district. The other one on trial at the criminal court is the security chief of Alexandria," Meshaly said.
