Sudan and Egypt need to face their issues head-on, and the Ikhwan aren’t coming back

After a dreary couple of days, the nation’s columnists finally offered up a somewhat better selection of musings. Two pieces in particular grabbed our attention: The first is Abdel Latif El Mennawy’s op-ed on Sudan and Egypt, in which he calls on the two countries to stop trying to paint a rosy image of “brotherly relations” when there are clearly major differences and tensions. The second is an analysis of the Ikhwan’s political history and the slim chance the group has of making a political comeback, courtesy of El Watan’s Mahmoud Khalil.
