Written just yesterday and already dated. But the author, Mohamed Soliman, is a leader in the Rebel youth movement in Cairo and has an insider's perspective.

Example: he notes the bargain made between Champ and the Brøderbünd: we'd support them, and in return they'd control the crazies in the Syrian rebellion so as to ensure the weapons provided to the rebels didn't fall into the 'wrong' hands. Champ bought that? Apparently so.

Worth the read.

#1 Meet Adly Mansour, Egypt's new leader

On Monday, he became the head of Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court. Just two days later, the 67-year-old was installed as the country's president after a military coup ousted Mohammed Morsy from power.

In a televised speech to the nation Wednesday night, Egypt's top military officer announced that Mansour would become the country's interim leader.

#2 what Soliman didn't address much is

the role of the Salafist party over the past month

defection of rank and file MB members

I think it may have to do with the fact that there wasn't enough money to spread around to keep everyone happy
