hakim haggag for his comments. >> thank you, greg, and thank you to the center for organizing this very important panel. just before i start, i feel in an odd position of having no make not one but two disclaimers. as an egyptian diplomat i am here not representing the egyptian government but my own views. and also has a visiting faculty of the national defense university, which is a d.o.d. organization, i certainly do not represent the views of the u.s. government. with those two disclaimers, i want to thank greg again for that introduction and for inviting me. so predicting elections is always a hazardous business, and i think the egyptian elections are no exception. as greg mentioned, the second round of these elections, which will be held on the 16th and 17th of june, will see the face-off of -- between the muslim brotherhood candidate mohamed mursi and general ahmed shafiq, both of them who garnered in the first round roughly 24% of the vote. now, the elections so far have been remarkably surprising. the results have defied all of the predictions that the experts have put forward.
