Is the Arab Spring now over in Egypt?

After reading this article from Debka, and seeing what is happening in Egypt now, the hugh demonstrations against the Military rule, the conditions that supposedly the emirates of the Gulf have attached to any financial aid to Egypt, possible the revolution has been sold out and it's just a matter of time till another new General or Generals take Mubarak's place, and if so and the uprisings continue, the demonstrations, will then the military forces, will they be unleashed against the demonstrators similar to Syria?

Hosni Mubarak may be dying but his military regime lives on

dEBKAfile Exclusive Report July 17, 2011, 11:06 PM (GMT+02:00)

Hosni Mubarak is gone - but not his regime"

The former president Hosni Mubarak is in a full coma after his health suddenly deteriorated," Egyptian state TV reported Sunday night, July 17, shortly after a cabinet reshuffle was carried out in Cairo to placate rising dissent five months since his overthrow.

But the reports of his state of health are conflicting: Lawyers say he went into a coma after a stroke, while the director of the Sharm el Sheikh hospital denies this.

Aged 83 and suffering from cancer, Mubarak has been confined to a Sharm el-Sheikh hospital since April when he suffered a heart attack during questioning. He and his sons face trial on August 3 on charges of corruption and murder.

The cabinet reshuffle came as Egypt sank ever more deeply into lawlessness and economic stagnation.

City streets are plagued by robbers and outlaws. Many districts have set up vigilante militias to protect life and property. Tens of thousands continue to rally in Tahrir Square against the new rulers, the Supreme Council of Revolutionary Forces’ (SCAF) – and not only in Cairo, but in Suez, Ismailia and Alexandria.

They say they are staging what they call "the second Egyptian revolution" – this one against the 25 generals led by Field Marshall Muhammad Tantawi, whom they accuse of stealing the revolution from the Egyptian people and putting the Mubarak regime back in place.

Whether or not the ousted president survives the next few hours is immaterial for the Egyptian street.

debkafile's Egyptian sources report that the demonstrators of Tahrir Square no longer believe the military junta can save the country.

They suspect the generals are deliberately letting the situation deteriorate, said one opposition source, "to generate anarchy as the pretext for postponing the promised general and presidential elections, already put off once from September to November,"

Egypt not to allow foreign poll monitors

The decision is part of a new election law approved by the country's ruling generals.
Last Modified: 21 Jul 2011 01:13

"Egypt's council of military rulers will not allow international monitors to observe upcoming parliamentary elections, a council member has said.

Maj. Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen, who presented the new election law to reporters on Wednesday, said barring foreign monitors was a necessary step to protect Egypt's sovereignty. "We have nothing to hide," he said, adding that "we reject anything that affects our sovereignty."

Egyptian election monitors will observe the process instead, he said.

The decision was swiftly criticised by activists, who said it raises questions about the transparency of the first elections after the toppling of Hosni Mubarak and urged the military to reconsider.

Hafez Abou Saada, a member of the National Council for Human Rights, said promises of free and fair elections from the military are not enough, and noted that barring international monitors mirrors the line adopted by Mubarak's government.

"International monitors are part of any modern elections," he said. "Many countries are watching what is happening in Egypt. This is not a very positive signal."

The new law also lowers the minimum age for candidacy for the lower house from 30 to 25, apparently to allow youth who led the 18-day uprising that toppled Mubarak to run"

Wow, you mean the Muslim Brotherhood Obama helped install in Egypt doesn't want anyone looking over their shoulders while they set up an Islamic Caliphate in Egypt? I'm shocked!

[deziloooooo]

Since no election yet..and the military is in charge for now...can't see the Brotherhood in control..as of now..after the election..we'll have to see.

It's their business..none of ours no matter what we would like to see..unless you feel we should invade the country and put in who we want to see in charge.

I think the American populous would be against that...also the Egyptians too, including their military...plus we are broke so don't think we could afford it.

If it is as you say none of our business then why post the article?

As long as we have American troops stationed somewhere then it will always be our business, which is why I personally am for closing any military installation that is not on native US soil, Reducing ranks once the borders are secure.

But that's just me.

The article was posted cme because the change in Egypt from a country that was ruled by one man with the support of a few, in this case the military, to his removal, a uprising by millions of Egyptians for a change in leadership was and is news..and how they are going about the change now is still news.

There was nothing in the article about our involvement in this change, it wasn't at the time our business and we had nothing to do with the uprising, no matter what the druthers of our government might have been in the change, and the article just points out what is happening new as the military is moving toward elections, are they going to stand aside and let what happens happen or will they be involved in trying to influence what the election decides on what type of government will take over inn the country.

That's what we do here, post articles for discussion regarding politics and the markets for discussion.
