How powerful and independent is the Egyptian Armed forces. That they give president ultimatums?
Look at it this way, Had our Armed Forces talked just before PEV, would they have made a difference. How Independent is our Jeshi, and is it a good idea?

@Maka
I agree. But is it possible in Kenya to have independent institutions and systems, trusted and respected like theirs?
Rumours had it that some people were not willing to work with certain presidential candidate if he won.
Zimbabwe's generals always say they'd not recognise Tchangirai if elected.

What is 'independence'? 'Slavery' by other means. Truth is dependence, and knowledge of this brings forth 'mutualism', and freedom.

The Egyptian army isn't independent; and neither should you think the armed forces can ever be independent.

I really admire Egyptians. I am filled with love for that country and its kinsmen and I think Kenyans can learn a thing or two from the land of the Pharaohs. I have been to Egypt twice. my first time was in 2007 as a tourist and i fell in love with the country. My second time was in 2011 as a volunteer and i stayed there for a while.

These guys are extremely patriotic. They will die for their country anytime and the best thing about it is that it is the young people, irrespective of their social background, who are fighting for prosperity. They say, "Bread, Freedom and Social Justice." I witnessed one of the protests and a gathering When they were marking the 25th January Anniversary. These guys show up in their masses; old, rich, poor, man, woman, child. it was completely amazing!! I wish Kenyans could love their country this much.

The good thing about Egypt is their patriotism and for sure they will not let things go out of hand. things will get bloody but it will never go the Syria way. The army, under SCAF, tried holding on to power for a long time. But after pressure from the people they let go.

Kenyans have a lot to learn from these guys. When will you ever hear of Ministers resigning in support of the people's will???

Why is dying for your country a virtue? Who, or what, are the Egyptians protesting against? Morsi? Mubarak? The army? The Islamists?

It's all a hoax. Dying for Egypt may mean killing the Ethiopians who are dying for Ethiopia. Dying for a country is dying for a barrier of selfish interest.

I love the Egyptians too, at least their women. But If I was to give them some advice at this time it would be this:

"Relax. Take a deep breath and think what you are doing to your country - dependent as it is on tourism (read: international image and goodwill). Slogans and demonstrations are all well and good, but governing and creating lasting change is slow, uncertain, hard work with many setbacks. Mosi is no angel but you voted for him. Now give him time to deliver before you demand change. That is what democracy is about."

I fear you could be right.

And then the madness will really start.

Those who think the Muslim Brotherhood will go quietly have a painful lesson to learn.

Flashback
Hosni Mubarak overstayed? Yes. Was the economy better during Mubarak's time? Yes. Was Egypt relatively stable during Mubarak's time? Yes.

Fast-forward
Is the economy better with now? No. The economy is doing badly. Is the country stable after Mubarak? No. The situation is worsening.

Same case with Libya.

This begs the question: was the "revolution" still-born? I think so. There's evidence to prove it.

I would not say the revolution was 'still born' - but its true effects will take time.

People confuse revolution with social change, two events that go hand in hand but run on very different timelines. A few examples:

1. The Chinese Revolution started with the 'long march' or earlier. But the results of the social change took over 60 years and are only being fully realized now.

2. Closer to home - you could say Kenya's 'revolution' started in 1982. We are still working on the resultant social change. In fact Vision 2030 tells us we have some way to go.

Someone needs to tell Egyptians to chill. They have a long way to go.

Now there are reports that the army has taken over state TV studios!!

The muslim brotherhood has refused to meet the army officials.

Mursi spokesman says the president would rather die 'like a standing tree' than to step down.

Seems this is what Morsi favours but the other wise want him out!!!!

Power really changes people, the same Morsi before getting elected promised that if the people went down the street against him, he would resign!!!!!
