Political maturity “The quieter, more competent team won the internal elections of Al-Dostour Party, something that places the party on the threshold of becoming a genuine political institution. It transports it past the phase of protests from which it suffered ever since its establishment — and onto maturity and organised political work.” Amr Al-Shobaki, Al-Masry Al-Youm A bumpy track “The mere fact that Hala Shukrallah, a woman, was elected president of Al-Dostour Party reflects a shift in awareness. It will register in the history of Egyptian political life as the breaking of another long-held taboo of discrimination that has contributed to the illusion that there are certain jobs that are simply not suitable for women.” Said Al-Shahhat, Al-Youm Al-Sabei The real danger “The Egyptian street has witnessed unprecedented division that caused rifts within families. However, I fear that the curse of division will overwhelm the presidential elections. Although the final picture of the presidential elections is not yet clear even now, it is obvious that it will open the door to more divisions that could reach the state institutions. That is the real danger.” Farouk Guweida, Al-Ahram Facebook “A senior source said that Field Marshal Sisi plans to make a deal with Congo to start implementing the project between Cairo and Kinshasa, to link the Congo River to the River Nile to make up for the shortage of water experienced by Egypt. It is worth mentioning that the link provides 95 billion cubic meters of water to Egypt and allows the cultivation of 80 million acres in ten years, and will grow half the area of the Western Sahara, providing Egypt, Sudan and Congo with enough electricity...” The truth about Egypt from True Egyptians “As a result of the repeated talk about the army and authoritative bodies that support the so-called Congo River project I asked Major General El-Assar about that matter and he said that the army has nothing to do with that project.” Hani Raslan Twitter Hani Shukrallah @HaniShukrallah #Egyptian news portal quotes unnamed sources close to #El-Sissi as saying field marshal now resolved NOT to run for president! Mohamed Shokr® @Mshokr81 If you're Pro or Anti #Morsi, Pro or Anti #Sissi Try to make Egypt better instead of mocking and making fun of everything. maryem @Mariamelkady20 Dear facebook...why the hell did u buy #Whatsapp!!
