The Middle East Channel - July, 2010
In fact, there has already been quite a bit of change in Egypt in the last decade, and most Egyptians are simultaneously pleased, eager for more, and uneasy about it. The question is not whether to change but how fast and how well change can be managed.

The Economist - July, 2010
Even Egyptian government economists admit that even as the rich get much richer and Egypt's small middle class is expanding somewhat, the rest have struggled to keep up with an inflation rate that is far higher than in most comparable countries.

The Economist - July, 2010
A government survey this year found that, apart from school textbooks, 88% of Egyptian households read no books, and three-quarters of families do not read any newspapers or magazines either. Of those who do read, 79% concentrate on religious subjects. Perhaps more encouragingly, the study found that nearly three-quarters of youths aged 15-29 have used the internet, and almost half of them have read books on the web.

In many ways, the case of Khaled Said is tragically symbolic of everything that is wrong with the state of emergency under which Egyptians have been living for almost three decades. In such an arbitrary and opaque system, torture and ill-treatment are a natural byproduct. And in fact, torture in police custody has been systematic and well documented since the 1990s. Khlaed Said's case is unusual only because his murder was witnessed by so many, captured on film, and distributed to thousands via Facebook.

Precisely how do Brotherhood leaders explain their failure to repudiate Qutb? How do they square their position on his legacy with their claimed commitment to peaceful change? In fact, a minority Brotherhood members do openly express their distaste for Qutb's ideas and embarrassment that their colleagues seem to cling to his memory. But what of the movement as a whole?

The Solidarity Center - April, 2010
There are some hopeful signs for Egyptian workers however.
A new workers movement is starting to take root.
A little over a year ago,municipal real estate tax collectors
staged a nationwide strike and a 12-day, 10,000 people
sit-in in front of the prime minister's office in Cairo.
Its success has inspired Egypt's postal workers and education
administrators to mobilize as well.
