hasn't done a proper war othella sadat has to hear from his own poor who are living but there. are. a builder of many year. there with me if you're a little off up so on. from about a very. base of american have fathers monique america. has an illusion and i can convey your can be a few. better with many of. the autumn an empire began receding in the nineteenth century. in eight hundred thirty it lost algeria to france. while egypt gradually came under british rule which then expanded into the arabian peninsula. the arabs of mesopotamia greater syria and the haitian. remains part of the ottoman empire which was undergoing its own changes. kind of person i shall bear that address or. that. democrat or will measure least. at the very near. a while michalis well but as erlich fee. measures a third me when i'm a mostly. moderate and i love a lot of b. i lucked out a lot of the year mostly million. in one thousand or eight the committee of union and progress the young turks over to our deal had me just act. and restored the eighteenth seventy six constitution. this reduced tension at the

fair elections they say but if you see how they came to power i also worry about their reaction on sadat and the africa you know and most of all i worry about western capitals you know they do want a government that they can deal with very quickly and they are willing to overlook said in things they had favored the m.d.c. up to now but i can tell you that many in the us and elsewhere were disappointed with the m.d.c. so i think they have a lot of challenges but i would love to be surprised by mistake i mean sir if that's the case then how do you assess the potential success solve the n d c in these forthcoming elections what sort of vote bank today have to guard to be taken seriously not just domestically but as you say by international organizations like the african union like sadeq like the e.u. like the u.s. . i think you know the thing to stress is that elections are always the most difficult things to predict i mean i'm sitting in the usa mr drum's election was a shock to a lot of people and so i think with all of the fact is i have cited it is still possible that m.d.c. might my do
