What do you get when you mix a slow news day, a 24-hour news cycle, bored writers, and an election in Egypt?<\/strong> A string of (often rambling) pieces passing as political analysis in the foreign press. From the Washington Post<\/a>, we have a report on the internal divisions within the Wafd Party between those supporting President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s election bid and those opposed to it. The only coherent analysis we\u2019re getting from this is that the divisions are a microcosm for Egyptian society (brilliant). Over on the Financial Times<\/a>, we have a history paper on the Ikhwan, while the folks at Al Jazeera<\/a> are regurgitating recent elections news.<\/p>\n

One piece that could be worth your while is an article from <\/strong>security research outlet IHS Jane\u2019s<\/strong><\/a>, which postulates that while El Sisi\u2019s supposed crackdown on military figures indicates greater government stability, it does pose risks on the terrorism front. One thing the piece notes is that the economic reforms have become institutionalized to the point that they can outlast any potential challenge<\/strong> to El Sisi\u2019s grip on power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
