a referendum that could grant the country's authoritarian leader abdel fatah another term in office the proposed changes to the constitution would also give the former army general more power over the judiciary is more. this was supposed to be his second and last term in office but a gyptian president bill fata a c.c. is poised to extend his rule until at least twenty thirty. more on the heels of parliamentary approval gyptian citizens will vote on constitutional changes allowing l.c.c. to run for a third presidential term likely without any real opposition. to the changes are also meant to give the former general more control over the military and judiciary which rights groups say he has used to silence his critics. the reforms are expected to pass by a wide margin. i've been about i believe the constitutional amendments are necessary and important to complete on cc's achievements because the constitution

isn't the holy koran the constitution can be adjusted according to the situation in the country. but some of gyptian see the changes as foreboding. is that i strongly oppose the constitutional amendments because they consolidate the military and authoritarian rule. it's unreasonable to be different from the civilized world where the president sits in power for four or five years and can be elected for a second term and then another president takes over. and that would be that way. i'll see if he rose to the top following a pro-democracy revolution that ousted long time autocratic leader hosni mubarak and two thousand and eleven l.c.c. let a military coup against the man elected to replace mubarak mohamed morsi and was himself elected president in two thousand and fourteen. since then l.c.c. has ruled egypt with increasing severity. human rights groups estimate he has

jailed some sixty thousand people on political charges and staged unfair lections to remain in power. public criticism of l.c.c. has become nearly impossible. nevertheless l.c.c. remains a key ally for western governments keen on defending their interests in the volatile region among those interests fighting islamic fundamentalism. the egyptian leader was in washington just two weeks ago to discuss military ties and trade with u.s. president donald trump president thank you very much my friend because even for many egyptians activists however the referendum is a blatant power grab and the end of aspirations for a peaceful and democratic transfer of power. today marks twenty years since the columbine high school shooting in the u.s. when two students armed with guns and homemade explosives killed thirteen people
