New Political Showdown in Egypt as Supreme Constitutional Court Dissolves Parliament
The ruling by the “Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court on Thursday…that the Islamist-led Parliament must be immediately dissolved, while also blessing the right of Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister to run for president” would have elicited outrage and condemnation from the international community and democratic activists across the world had it been issued late last year or earlier this year.
But now it appears not many people or world leaders are sure of what Arab Spring has become of: democratic awakening or Islamists Takeover. The news of the Libyan Government jailing four ICC investigators, charging them of posing national security risk, does not augur well for the Islamists across the MENA who are aspiring to take over the mantle of leadership.
This might explain why no one from the international community, as well as within the Egyptian liberal activists who toppled Mubarak, is furious over the latest ruling from the Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, democratically outrageous as it is.
