mubarak a thirty six year old refugee from sudan meets us at a brussels train station. he postponed our rendezvous three times for fear he'd be arrested. he's been holding out here it's much warmer than staying out on the street. he says he hasn't eaten for two days but that what matters most is that he's not sitting in an airplane bound for sudan. he's already had one close call. they tried to make me leave they bought me a plane ticket and said they were sending me back to sudan. i was staying in a reception center and. mubarak is from niala the capital of south darfor stayed in southwest sudan he fled to europe through libya and nearly died on the way deportation would be a nightmare for him. so i was shocked that they wanted to send me back to sudan. mubarak is one of a group of refugees belgian would like to send home immediately the opposition says the government in brussels has been secretive about contacts with sudanese officials who helped compile a list of forty one sudanese nationals to deport. the first mistake is you don't collaborate with a dictator especi

eventually he became the prime minister and then he decided to break with mubarak and eventually ran in the two thousand and twelve election which of course was the only open free election that egypt has ever had he ran against mohamed morsi from the muslim brotherhood it was extremely close race but the interesting thing about trophy at the time was that he was running on a counter-revolutionary platform which meant that he said he would crush the revolution and he would return to order and stability that defined the mubarak era when he lost the election he retreated to the united arab emirates where he's been essentially in hiding for the last several years he was watched as the coup unfolded there that brought sisi to power in egypt and since then he's been a sort of card in the back pocket of the gulf states that is the saudis and what are these who've been hope to use if you at some point in the future as a possible alternative to sisi at the same time he had developed his own ambitions and so when he made that announcement in november it didn't come at the wishes of his host an

they use all the time mubarak, assad, gaddafi and netanyahu. mubarak is the best hope for peace. assad is a reformer and that's why there is hope gaddafi already showed that he is open to compromise on nuclear weapons and so on. our only problem is netanyahu. i said wait a minute, a dictator, democracy, he is elected. if only he will agree. and then there was the arab spring. by the way in case of democracy we both predict mubarak with assad didn't happen because clinton saved him -- putin saved him and obama permitted him. they say now ok what is number one problem for if only .etanyahu so my problem is integrity. the world doesn't want to see any connection between democracy human rights and peace. comfortable being positive because of lack of integrity. policyre integrity in than a many other countries in europe and even in america. you have six grandchildren when you left israel two weeks ago. threescoreg to be and 10. 70. in your view when you look back on it now can you say are there people who have endured in your integrity in aof complicated world? two people. king david

egyptian talk shows are an accidental byproduct of states censorship when former president hosni mubarak allowed more private channels on the air he made it clear that news bulletins would remain in the hands of state and broadcasters private stations got around that by creating discussion programs focusing on the news of the hosts of these shows were everything that monochrome counterparts on state t.v. were not so i didn't get any and they said they did the job i did my sad sad was late looking at how yeah i know yet how many hail it is they. can yet they have a good that they're engaging emotional and opinionated and uniquely egyptian and that they start out with a monologue that goes on and on and on the monologue can be up to a half hour in some cases forty five minutes where you have a host not only talking. but working himself or herself up emotionally. sometimes you would have some video theatrical props a bullet a picture a video and the other thing is the interaction not only with the in studio guests but also with viewers at home for example we've seen relatives of some of the

and one of our facebook viewer is saying no one can run for presidency anymore assisi is the new mubarak is that a point of view that you you agree with because this is quite unprecedented isn't it and he's the fourth candidate and is the fourth if i'm not mistaken the fourth candidate to to face prosecution or face the tension when it comes to this presidential election it is unprecedented in one end but also this is not mubako mubarak that no one dared to go against him except once into southern five and i mean we know that the case there was even against him and he was not from the middle east up. anyway he was more of an opposite civilian opposition candidate but to go against multiple figures from the military that higher rank this is disses quite new the only thing that you know maybe maybe there's some comparisons when the minister of defense and the head of the intelligence back tried to challenge that back in one hundred seventy and he tested them all but there was not presidential election so this is this is a very very new nothing like that compared before but also what is int

al sisi as head of the supreme council of the armed forces which governed after the fall of hosni mubarak showed adeptness as a political trick to shoot. we will not agree approve or allow egypt to enter a dark tunnel of conflict or internal fighting or civil war or sectarian strife or the collapse of the state's institutions. but almost four years into his presidency many are disillusioned with his leadership this consolidate sorry time to the autocratic security state that prevailed under mubarak rendering that to a square evolution only a brief experiment in democracy the system is all set up for him to both run and win i think the more interesting question is. to what extent are they going to play with the constitution amend the constitution to give him additional terms beyond this next four year stretch but there's no question that he will run in this round and there's also no question that he'll win because there's no competition real opposition to c.c. in the march election is likely to be seen on the ground potential candidates of either withdraw him or seen that candidacy blocked
