hile the small neighbor Tunisia takes amazing constitutional and societal steps to follow which there sprung "Arab Spring" democratic summer, remains Egypt in chaos and agony. Always be absurd processes, blame and enemy lines in Cairo. Against the ousted president Mohamed Morsi, the second criminal trial has now begun - but not to him alone, but against a total of 131 defendants. The public prosecutor shall submit to the former President of the grace of the Muslim Brotherhood and his co-defendants one thing to load that far is before his presidency and plays in the throes of upheaval in 2011: a jailbreak.
When the revolution against Hosni Mubarak took their way, state and administrative structures broke down the gates of the prison open, and the guards were suddenly gone.
Mursi, inhaftiertes member of the banned Muslim Brotherhood now back, then took advantage of the opportunity and fled with his prison comrades, including members of the Palestinian radical Islamic Hamas and the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, from the cells of the prison in Wadi Natrun in the Nile Delta.

"I am the legitimate president of the country"

In the courtroom, however, now only Mursi and 20 co-defendants appeared. The others have settled in the Palestinian territories or in Lebanon. The cages of the defendants to replace the dock in the Egyptian legal system, were first lined with glass walls in order to make annoying interruptions or unwelcome comments of delinquent inaudible through the microphone can shutdown.
Nevertheless Mursi called the judge: "Who are you I do not know you?". The judge replied: "I am the president of the Cairo Criminal Court." Then Mursi said, "I am the legitimate president of the country."
Whatever one may think of Mursi, he is Egypt's first and only democratically elected head of state. And many critics of the current situation can not avoid the impression that he - no matter how - to disappear from the political scene. For any (legal) means seem to be right. Politically motivated trials, and no matter how preposterous.
Since last November, the graduate engineer is also because of the alleged killing of protesters in court. Other processes - including one for espionage and terrorism - are in preparation.
The General as savior

Disempowered had Mursi to the cheers of a large part of the Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Since then, the shy General will become the new savior of the Nile. He is credited as the sole, restore security and to keep the Muslim Brotherhood at bay.
Alone: ​​He still has not declared whether he will run for president in mid-April. He takes his time, while the conditions for its successful candidacy of others will be created and calls the people louder for him. It makes up much better to pretend to want to meet the people's will, than offer himself too briskly.
The army leadership, the supreme representative of al-Sisi still is, but he has to give in the case of his candidacy, gave the 59-year-old permission for a presidential candidacy. Formality. No formality, but in the visibility extremely effective, is al-Sisi's simultaneous promotion to the rank of field marshal.
Interim president Adli Mansur lifted him in this prestigious office, the man so, the al-Sisi himself had used as temporary head of government. The gift of honorary title is militarily not so relevant, but of very great symbolic power. It is the highest military office, which has awarded the Egyptian Republic.
The Egyptians want security and peace

The Supreme Military Council switched on state television specifically a spot in which the communiqué was read: The confidence that put the population of al-Sisi, was "a call, which he must follow," it said. Previously, al-Sisi had expressed his willingness to run for office, "if the people wants it."
The people, it seems wants, especially back security and peace after three years in exceptional condition. Since Mursi fall on 3 July last year were killed in Egypt during violent clashes over a thousand people and detained nearly the entire leadership team as well as thousands of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood.
For the time being the last prominent murder victim is General Mohammed Said, the Director of the Technical Office of the Ministry of Interior. He was shot dead near his home by armed men on a passing motorcycle. Such attacks are piling up in the Egyptian capital, and they can affect anyone.
From Mubarak al-Sisi - a vicious circle?

Egyptian security forces assume that such attacks to the account of al-Qaida go-near groups who discover the land of the Nile amplified as an operating field and benefit the most from disintegrating state structures. Last September, a bomb attack on Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim had failed. To the assassination attempt, the Al-Qaeda splinter group Ansar al-Beit Makdis had known.
So while chaos, anarchy and repression increase on the Nile, the country waits for his Redeemer: Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. He really only needs two words to say: I'm running! There is little doubt that he would win the elections, especially since there are no challenging candidates.
Then again would a military at the head of the state and thus the already powerful institution, which owns half of the Egyptian economy through their networks and their nepotism and controls: the army. An institution also whose last representatives who overthrew the Egyptians in the highest office 2011: Hosni Mubarak. So we come full circle. One can only hope for the Egyptians that it is not a vicious circle
