With Reference-To Your Circular Despatch No. 078 of the 9Th of September, 1953, I Have the Honour to Transmit Herewith a Summary BRITISH EMBASSY, No. 12 (10113/1/55) CAIRO. SECRET January 24, 1955. EIPU Sir, i With reference-to your circular despatch No. 078 of the 9th of September, 1953, I have the honour to transmit herewith a summary, arranged chronologically, of the principal events which occurred in Egypt during 1954 and also to offer my comments on the main trends. '2. The year was remarkable both for the efforts displayed by the men of the regime and for the results achieved. In the field of foreign affairs, after prolonged and arduous negotiations a solution of the Anglo-Egyptian dispute was found in the Agreement of the 19th of October and a promising beginning was subsequently made in establishing confidence and promoting co-operation between the two Governments. At home the position of the regime was consolidated by the elimination of General Neguib; who, though nominally the Leader of the Revolution,;had become the rallying point of elements hostile to it, and by the paralysing blows dealt to the Moslem Brotherhood, the only remaining political force capable of organised opposition. The regime also survived some ill-conceived attacks on it by the political assassin. Although it increased the already large number of its enemies and made few friends, it founa itself at the end of the year master of the situation, though facing with some understandable hesitation the major problems of political evolution and economic progress. The members of the Council for the Revolutionary Command, all of whom bef9re the end of the summer had assumed ministerial responsibilities, shewed surprisingly few \signs of strain or fatigue. Colonel Nasser emerged as '.the dominant figure in the Council: his self-confidence and his sense or mission increasing with experience, while the modesty of his manner did not suffer in the process. Unfortunately he continued for his .../countrymen The Right Honourable . Sir Anthony Eden, K.G., M.C., M.P., etc., etc., etc. f1 1 1 Frr^> ^Tl l / ^^>S~7f5" \nzia 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 COPYRIGHT - NOT TO BC~"R£P»ODUCED PHOTOGRAPHICALLY WITHOUT PERMISSION countrymen to be on the whole an unsympathetic figure and even the attempt on his life did little to enhance his popularity for any length of time, while the intensive publicity accorded to him by the Government propaganda machine from May onwards failed to endear him to the masses, , ' 3 ' The conflict within the Army Movement between authoritarian and democratic ideals and the less conscious struggle between those of Western and Islamic Socialism, which were referred to in my review of the events of 1953 (paragraph 4 of my despatch No. 14 of the 18th of January. 1954) developed with unexpected rapidity in the first months of 1954. That of Islamic Socialism. as represented by the Moslem Brotherhood, came to a head in January with the arrest of Hodeibi and several hundreds of his followers. That of a return to constitutional forms and political life was raised in an acute form by General Neguib in March. Both, however. remained unresolved until the autumn. The Brotherhood's leadership was then destroyed and the lavement as a whole disorganised, and, with the deposition of General Neguib the prospect of an early return to parliamentary government receded further into the future. Though there was much personal sympathy for the General, his _ disappearance from the political scene caused hardly a ripple in Egypt itself: it was recognised either as^an uSortunate necessity or as the inevitable consequence of his own shortcomings, according to the sympathies 01 r^ The regime's efforts to find a successor t*»* Oowo^ll' ttor t&f y% Coauikn^ M*}*Mi « . so Tfce elimination ! Atajor Khaled Uohieddin and his socialist influence left the Council!ideologically more homogeneous. It was inevitable however that there should be differences, at least of emphasis, on matters of policy. Tho principal issue appears, understandably enough to navo been that of political evolution, in regard to which Wing Commander Gamal Salem (supported by his brother) .../was - 3 - was more apprehensive of the results of parliamentary rule than Colonel Nasser. Differences between the impetuous Salem brothers on the one hand and Colonel Nasser and his immediate supporters, General Amer and Wing Commander Boghdady and even the rest of the Council for the Revolutionary Command on the other, extended to other fields also. In particular Major Salem's handling of the Sudan, his approach to Arab problems and even his appreciation of the Palestine question were not entirely to the satisfaction of his colleagues. Nevertheless Colonel Nasser appeared to recognise that the regime could not afford a further crisis for the time being and that, however serious the disadvantages of a Minister of National Guidance who could not control his own tongue or of a Deputy Prime Minister who saw every issue in absolute terms of principle, he could not do better, at least in the short term, than make do with the material at hand. At the same time the influence of the two brothers almost certainly decreased towards the end of the year. ' • - • • • | 6, Within the Army the Council for the Revolutionary Command claims to have fimproved its position. Though the bulk of the officer strength probably remained essentially neutral, the Council for the Revolutionary Command succeeded, by a policy of eliminating doubtful elements and of giving promotion on the basis of merit, in increasing the. numoer of its supporters and thereby its hold on the Armed Forces as a whole. Similar tactics with the Police paid good dividends also. 7. In the country at large an effective, if dangerous weapon was forged out of the syndicates (invariably subservient to a strong government in this country) and organised labour largely replaced the student body as the political spearhead. The National Guard also proved its value in times of internal crisis. An effective discipline was imposed .on the Universities (critics of the regime among teaching staff and students alike who < showed their hand during the March crisis having been removed) and a new student organisation - with what results is not yet known - was launched. Except in the matter of the syndicates, the success of the Liberation Rally was however limited, and the regime was still unsupported by anything approaching a mass movement or an electioneering machine when 1955 dawned. It is doubtful whether the Land Reform, though it weakened the opposition, won .../much -4 - much positive support for the regime in the countryside. The disruption of the Moslem Brotherhood, though if. • welcomed by the minorities, particularly the Copts and even by educated and westernised Moslems, perplexed the Moslem masses, large numbers of whom, including many stable elements, had joined the Brotherhood for purely religious reasons. f; I: 8. Nevertheless, the number of responsible people who either recognised the outstanding achievements of the regime or realised that, if the Army Movement \^>-. failed, worse might come in its place, probably "..)!' increased. There was also widespread appreciation in responsible circles of the regime's earnest endeavours to remain free of corruption, and somewhat grudging Kfl, recognition of its financial and economic policy which enabled the recovery achieved in 1953 to be maintained, and also of the remarkable, if expensive, efforts of the Minister of Municipal Affairs (Wing Commander tin Boghdady) to provide much needed amenities in the capital and at the same time to give work to some unemployed. The substantial American economic aid, which was made available and accepted shortly after the signature of the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement.and the advantages in terms of Unitea Kingdom-Egyptian trade which v/ere expected to derive from the Agreement itself v/ere held to'offer prospects of increased economic prosperity 'in the coming year. 9. As regards foreign affairs, and in the first instance Anglo-Egyptian relations, the signature of the Heads of Agreement in July brought about a marked improvement in the atmosphere. Following the conclusion of the Agreement itself relations between this Embassy and the Egyptian (kjvemoent/ including it/0 officials, became as friendly and confident aa tb^v had been, with few exc^ions. <x>^ *# the preceding period, am contacts with utwt**%,~z-\...

Egypt's relations with Turkey reached their nadir early in the year following the "expulsion of the Turkish Ambassador. After the signature of the Heads of Agreement in July, a gradual improvement set in and by the end of the year relations were more cordial than . they have been for many years. Egyptian and Iraqi leaders thus came to the same conclusion that an understanding with Turkey was essential and differed only in method, the Egyptians favouring an informal rapprochement and the Iraqis something more specific. The rapidity of the change in the Egyptian attitude is remarkable, particularly when the difficulty experienced in including the reference to Turkey in the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement is remembered. 13. Egypt's record in .the Sudan was unfortunately far less satisfactory. Major Salah Salem's unscrupulous handling of tne problem and in particular his open interference in favour of one faction, the National Unionist Party, continued, though by the end of the year the Major had learnt much and, alarmed at a prospect of political and administrative collapse in the Sudan, was prepared to abate his earlier ideas of "unity" between the two countries.

Introduction following the large-scale popular uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, Egypt witnessed a polar- ization between Islamist and secular nationalist forces. Ultimately, this contentious dynamic culminated in the military toppling of the country’s first democratically elected post-revolution president, Mohamed Morsi of the Islamist movement al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun, better known in English as the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan will be used throughout this book). As soon as it took power, the new military-dominated administration led by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi undertook a campaign of repression, violently breaking up Ikhwan protests, killing a few thousand and arresting tens of thousands more. Remarkably, it did so with considerable support from nation- alist secularists and revolutionaries who had earlier protested in their millions against Morsi’s tenure and who had initially taken to the streets to denounce the tradition of regime-led oppression in their country. Even more striking was the extent to which the new military- dominated order and its supporters instantly sought to ground their legitimacy by invoking a historical precedent with great symbolic weight and situating themselves in relation to the legacy of Gamal 3 For general queries, contact [email protected] Gerges_Making the Arab World.indb 3 22/01/18 11:58 PM © Copyright, Princeton University Press.

The starting point of this investigation is the failure of Egypt’s parties to develop into politically-relevant organisations with strong constituency support in society. What we find instead are parties that - since the inception of multipartism in 1977 - remain characterised by their marginal role within the polity and politics of the state, that are little entrenched in society and that expose an underdeveloped and oftentimes fragmented internal structure. What is more, not only have these parties remained persistently weak, but since the early 1990s they experienced a further weakening of their position in the Egyptian polity.

  • Chapter Eleven the SUPPRESSION of the Muslim Brotherhood Had
    Chapter Eleven THE SUPPRESSION of the Muslim Brotherhood had freed Egypt from terrorism, but had not removed the causes of social unrest. Return to normal life brought conditions in which reform might have at least delayed, if not prevented, the fall of the old regime. But this last chance was thrown away. 'The year 1949 was a year of depression and weari- ness, in which the only signs of life were the secret activities. Egypt was at a Low ebb, but destiny was knocking at the door. Farouk was in a difficult situation, for he realized that he could not continue to rule without the support of a popular party. In spite of his strong dislike of Nahas Pasha, and the certainty that an election would mean a crushing majority for the Wafd, Farouk resolved to go to the country. In July, Hussein Sirry succeeded Abdul Hadi, and formed a coalition government with the Wafd, www.anwarsadat.orgto prepare for the general election. The government was unable to reach agreement about the division of the country into electoral districts, and in December Sirry was forced to resign in order to form a neutral cabinet composed of independents. It was a sign of the times that the Wafd election campaign stressed the social question, promising economic reforms, a reduction in the cost of living, a curtailment of state expenditure and waste, and other promises which were never kept. The election took place in January, 1955, and more than two-thirds of the seats went to the Wafd. Nahas Pasha formed a cabinet composed entirely of Wafdists, and the classic duel between the King and the Wafd began again.

Elle montre comment la RDA construit en Egypte une politique extérieure souveraine, qui passe progressivement d’un impératif dominant, la « solidarité anti-impérialiste », à un autre, l’ « avantage réciproque ». La thèse analyse le processus de déplacement des objectifs politico-idéologiques aux priorités économiques de la RDA, de la mise en place de ses relations diplomatiques avec le Caire, en juillet 1969, aux prémices de sa disparition, en 1989. Après un prologue qui présente les structures et les fondements de l’activité est-allemande en Egypte, la thèse s’organise autour de trois grands axes. Le premier reconstitue le cadre chronologique et politique de la relation bilatérale et met en lumière le passage progressif de l’euphorie révolutionnaire au pragmatisme économique.

    Aus: KAS-Auslandsinformationen 1/2001 Reiner Biegel Die Parlamentswahlen 2000 in Ägypten: Pyrrhussieg der Regierungspartei wird zur Niederlage Die im Oktober/November 2000 in Ägypten abgehaltenen Parlamentswahlen waren mit großen Erwartungen verbunden. Staatspräsident Mubarak hatte saubere und faire Wahlen versprochen. Zum ersten Mal überwachten Richter in den Wahllokalen den Wahlverlauf. Da nicht genügend Richter zur Verfügung standen, wurden die Wahlen in drei Etappen durchgeführt. Nachdem bereits in der ersten Runde die allein regierende NDP nur auf ein Drittel der Stimmen kam und sich für sie ein Wahldisaster abzeichnete, wurde in der zweiten und dritten Runde den Anhängern der Opposition der Zugang zu den Wahllokalen, teilweise unter Einsatz massiver Gewalt, weitgehend verwehrt. Die Mehrzahl der unabhängigen Kandidaten, die einen Sitz gewonnen hatten, schloß sich umgehend der NDP an, wodurch die NDP mit 388 Sitzen einen klaren Wahlsieg errang. Überraschend gewannen die Islamisten als Unabhängige 19 von insgesamt 444 Sitzen. Das Verständnis von Opposition in arabischen Staaten Die im Oktober und November 2000 in Ägypten abgehaltenen Parlamentswahlen geben den Anlaß, grundsätzlich die Frage nach der Bedeutung von Wahlen und Parteien in arabischen Staaten aufzuwerfen1. Wahlen setzen allerdings voraus, daß es echte Alternativen gibt: zwischen einer Regierungspartei oder –koalition, die vom Wähler bestätigt oder durch Oppositionsparteien abgelöst wird, wie dies in den Demokratien westlicher Prägung regelmäßig der Fall ist.
