Two-man race to head Egypt's top Islamist party
2012-10-12
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Two prominent Islamists are in the race to head Egypt's Freedom and Justice Party, to replace Mohamed Morsi who quit as chairman after being elected president, a party official said Wednesday.

FJP secretary general and former speaker of the now-dissolved parliament Saad al-Katatni is squaring off against acting party chairman Essam al-Erian in the leadership election due to take place on October 19, said Hussein Ibrahim.

The two men were left alone in the race after four other would-be candidates, including the only woman, failed to obtain enough nominations to vie for the chairmanship of Morsi's former party, Ibrahim added.

The FJP is the political arm of the powerful Moslem Brüderbund which had mobilised its resources and supporters behind Morsi in the presidential election.

Morsi headed the FJP until he took office in June, becoming Egypt's first elected president and its first civilian head of state.

#1  How much American money were we giving Mubarak to be nice? And are we going to give it to the Egyptian Bruderbund now for them to be nice? We used to give money to the Bashaw of Tripoli until Captain Preble and Steven Decatur and the first Marines ( a guy name O'Bannon under the command of William Eaton ) slowed that down a lot.

Why can't we use that money to better purpose and buy people in the Egyptian govt. ( are Egyptians for sale....I think they have a long and very promising history in that line) and play whack a moley with Egyptian politics until we find a Pinochet in a Turban and buy him.

The CIA does still have a testicle left ? Yes? No?

have them pull down their pants in Libya and look.

Oh, I loved Biden in the debates last night. He is living proof never to argue with a fool.
