A Coup, but Backed by the People
Keywords:
Sara Korshid, a Egyptian journalist, laments the wasted last two and a half years in which the military was ousted only to have the Muslim Brotherhood take office under a flawed and rushed road map set by the then military leaders, without a clear allocation of powers between the judiciary, parliament and the executive branches of government. The failure of the Muslim Brotherhood led by older authoritarian leaders to reach out to accomodate liberals -who supported Morsi and helped him get elected with 51% of the vote- leading to the ouster of president Morsi brings the Egyptian people back to square one. Real misgivings about having the military intervene are shared by liberals like Korshid, who are yet determined to start the process over to get it right.
Morsi's and Baradei's failure to provide leadership that unites all parts of the political spectrum and the crushed hopes for freedom and democracy in Egypt
07/03/2013
Morsi, Baradei, and Sissi needed to look back at Spain's example where Adolfo Suarez, King Juan, Socialists and Communists worked together to put behind the Franco and Republican years of the early twentieth century that made once rich Spain a poor undeveloped country. Turkey turned out to be a bad example, as the failure of Erdogan to unite different parts of the political spectrum in Turkey should have raised serious doubts about his example and leadership. Other leaders such as Cardozo and Da Silva in Brazil who also faced years of military rule- without the bitterness- show Erdogan had not learned from the experience to show a broader understanding required of leaders.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
