Egypt press - November 23
Published in Youm7 on 23 - 11 - 2011

Egypt press reported the crisis inside the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) because Mohamed al-Beltagy announcement the MB participated in Tuesday November 22 million-man protest, demanding the national salvation council.
It will include Egyptian presidential candidate Mohamed al-Baradei, Hamdeen Sabbahi, Hazem Abu Ismail and Abdel Moniem Aboul Fotouh. Islamic forces accused Egypt's ruling military council of planning to delay the elections with the clashes.
Youm7:
Deputy founders of al-Nahda Party, Mohamed Habib, said the military council must continue ruling until the end of the transitional phase in April 2012.
Habib described political isolation law was an attempt to improve military council's popularity.
Egyptian political activist and head of the United Group, Negad al-Borai, said the military council must step down immediately.
Regarding the political isolation law Borai said this law was made a little too late. Borai also said the military council is following the same steps that of the former regime.
Al-Ahram:
Medical reports revealed there are bullet wounds in the bodies of those who died and those injured.
Deputy director of medical examiners Mahmoud Mohamed Ali said 21 Egyptians died as a result of being shot by live ammunition. Doctors found three bullets inside the victims' bodies. Ali also said all bullets hit the upper part of the bodies, particularly in the head, neck and chest.
“Two victims died as a result of skull fractures, from hard objects, such as rocks, hitting their head,” Ali said. “Two other cases died as a result of inhaling teargas, which resulted the swelling of the larynx and lung infiltration.
Tahrir Square protestors' main demand is to form a national rescue council that includes presidential candidates, Mohamed el-Baradei, Hazem Abu Ismail and Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh. They also asked the civil council to include one honest judge.
Al-Masry Al-Youm:
Secretariat of the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), Mohamed al-Beltagy announced the MB will participate in the Tahrir protest to support the protestors' evoked crisis inside the MB because they announced their boycott for protests.
Sources said al-Beltagy and Mahamoud Gezlan, a member in guiding office, had strong arguments. Gezlam considered al-Beltagy's announcement confronts MB's strategy.
Al-Akhbar:
Former spokesman of the MB in Europe Kamal al-Halabawy said there is no choice rather than form a civil council of protest to participate in ruling with the military council.
Al-Halabawy expects Islamic forces to win in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Egypt. He is worried some of them will be fanatics.
Al-Shorouq:
Egyptian Minister of Finance Hazem al-Beblawi said the government lost its credibility and respect since Saturday November 19. The entire government therefore must resign.
Al-Beblawi said there is no solution for the current crisis because everyone is looking for their own interest. There are many and complicated interests, most conflict one another.
“Some leaders want to frighten the Egyptian citizens to get more votes in parliamentary elections, while others want to delay the elections,” al-Beblawi said.
Al-Beblawi said no one denies that violence is used against protestors. The media however, exaggerates.
He added the Egyptian Minister of Interior will change whether his resignation is accepted or refused.
Al-Gomhorreya:
Head of Egypt's High Electoral Committee (HEC), Abdel Moez Ibrahim issued a decision to enable Egyptians abroad to vote through e-mails in the parliamentary elections.
