Egypt: EASD Statement, FP “Postmortem”
November 28th, 2010 by Jason
The Egyptian Association for Supporting Democratic Development (EASD) has released a statement on the violence that occurred during today’s elections in Egypt. “‘Violence’ was the theme of the first hours of the parliamentary elections for all candidates whether they represent the NDP, opposition parties, MB, or are independents. For candidates, as well as those responsible for running the elections, it was a competition to commit violations.” Also, Max Strasser has a “postmortem” on the elections at Foreign Policy. His conclusion: “Today’s events show that the regime is willing to use violence or outright fraud to maintain power. That’s a lesson both Hosni Mubarak and his opponents will keep in mind next year.”
