always acted on behalf of the people and they did that in two thousand and eleven when they removed hosni mubarak at that time. they did and it's very important what militaries do in times of popular protest as we saw in tunisia as we're seeing now in algeria and sudan and they can play a positive role they can play a negative role there can play a mixed role in egypt in two thousand and eleven they played a positive role and on june thirtieth of two thousand and thirteen they played a positive role it was on july third of two thousand and thirteen that they took over and they have led egypt in a direction that's even more authoritarian with an even larger role for the egyptian military in the economy up to forty percent control of the economy now i'm precedented new gypped then we've seen before so what militaries do really really

a former air force commander hosni mubarak had been the face of egypt's military dictatorship since one nine hundred eighty one. he was gone but his military regime remains largely intact. when the muslim brotherhood's candidate mohamed morsi became egypt's first democratically elected president the military worked to undermine him from day one . by concentrating power in his own hands and with the economy in freefall morsi lost the support of many egyptians. many egyptians who had supported the idea of the ouster of president mubarak suddenly turned around and said hold on this is also not what we want and suddenly you had a brand new type of conflict inside egyptian society. when hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets on the first anniversary of morsi is election the egyptian military exploited the situation to remove. l.c.c. who morsi had put in charge of the army gave him forty eight hours to come up with a political solution. both morsi himself and his senior advisers did not see this coming they knew there was opposition they knew that there was this can and b

rose to the top following a pro-democracy revolution that ousted longtime autocratic leader hosni mubarak in twenty eleven sisi led a military coup against a man elected to replace mubarak mohammed morsi and was himself elected president in twenty fourteen since then r.c.c. has ruled egypt with increasing severity. human rights groups estimate he's jailed some sixty thousand people on political charges and staged unfair elections to remain in power public criticism of the c.c. has become nearly impossible. nevertheless r.c.c. remains a key ally for western governments keen to defend 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 for many egyptian 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 massacre in the united states when two students armed with guns and homemade explosive k

after thirty years of president hosni mubarak's rule the constitution was amended to limit future presidents to two four year terms tuesday's referendum results change that to three six year terms which means sisi can now rule egypt until twenty twenty four and perhaps even to twenty thirty he will also have control over the appointment of judges and public prosecutors these constitutional amendments were rushed through very very quickly i'm not sure egyptians even knew what exactly they were voting on in fact the text wasn't even finalized until four days before the referendum was held preston says his supporters did everything they could to get people to the polls the even all free boxes of food in exchange for votes some people queued up for them across the country was president sisi says his room means a stable and secure egypt in the face of turmoil in neighboring countries the referendum results were announced on the day when he was hosting two summits one in sedan where longtime president omar al bashir was deposed recently and people one the military leaders out. and the other in lib

could be some sort of you know egyptian scenario and i'm talking about egypt after the fall of hosni mubarak where the military took a step back in response to popular protests allowed for civilians to assume some nominal control of the political system but then just biding their time the military that is biding their time for an opportunity to stage another military coup i think that's one likely scenario it really depends on the people in the street the opposition that is forming to what extent will they be willing to accept cosmetic changes it seems like they're saying they want all of these ruling characters removed from the political system and you take caretaker government made up of independent politicians who have not been in power to assume a transition to democracy so i think that's where we are at this moment or any mention the opposition the opposition that just a moment ago the problem is that the opposition parties which range from socialist there is the need to be deeply divided and they haven't sort of man is it coalesced to form the front of opposition against the regime. i

think that what we saw here in many ways looks like what happened in two thousand and eleven to hosni mubarak in egypt which was the military recognizing the top dictators going down and the military wanted to try to preserve its own power its own influence and decided it was far better to move against the dictator than to follow along with the dictator so then the question is are the people able to push the military in a much more reform direction or can the military try to hang on to their power and privileges i think that's what the military is trying to do right now particularly with protests restraint straights i mean it like you said the tears were just as a very long time that i mean that's the idea of that is to try to deflate public pressure it's to try to allow the military to put their own people into positions of power and then create some elections that basically ratify their control it was supposed to allow the people to rule says and i thank you so much for your insight we appreciate it happy to be on. take a look now at omar al bashir is decades overall sarkar reports are towa

countries in the region could likely be a jury or student mohan has this compare to the time of hosni mubarak. i think it's a more extreme version of dictatorship it's a dictatorship that also feels great distress and i think post twenty eleven many of the regimes in the region realize that people could rise up and could bring down the dictator so the comebacks through a military coup in twenty seven teen was a means by which the military could hold on and the old regime once more and much of the message of sisi and his supporters is that never again we will not allow what happened in july on january twenty fifth twenty eleven to happen again we will not allow the electoral process that was underway in twenty twelve and put forward the first democratically elected president for egypt to happen again so they didn't see themselves as a bulwark against any kind of populist uprising that would bring about democracy to the people in egypt or to the region and therefore he's holding on very tight and he's as repressive as ever more so than even under mubarak but i think he feels he needs to be like
