When murderers are treated with respect

The regime never forgets its loyal men. Adly receives salutes from officers in his prison, as reported repeatedly in the local press. And in the videos above and below, you can see the army treating Adly, the security chiefs and Mubarak’s sons with all respect and smiles. Compare this treatment to the welcome parties ordinary Egyptian citizens receive when they arrive in prison.

VIDEO – The Mubaraks detained لحظات خروج جمال و علاء مبارك من التحقيق

What a night! Above, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak taken to prison, while protesters gathered outside call for their execution, chanting: “Thieves!” and accusing Hosni Mubarak of being an American agent. The demonstrators also demanded Alaa and Gamal to be transferred to Tora Prison in a police, not private, car.

The Mubaraks

Since the ousting of Ben Ali, didn’t you notice that Gamal Mubarak and Suzann Mubarak have disappeared almost completely from the news and public life?

Hypocrisy نفاق علني

All over Rosetta, the ruling National Democratic Party candidates have put up posters and banners that express support for Mubarak and his son Gamal.

Good Ol’ Saad

Saad Eddin Ibrahim, my former university professor and the “dissident” I dislike the most, has declared his support for Gamal Mubarak’s presidential candidacy.

I recall it was in 2002, when I worked for the Cairo Times, at the same time when Jimmi had started already to create some political buzz with his repeated public appearances with daddy at NDP and govt events. Saad was just fresh out of jail. Issandr went to interview him in his home, and when he came back to the office, he told me in shock that following the interview, he was chatting with Saad and the latter told him he would not mind seeing Gamal Mubarak as a successor to his dad and that the young Mubarak is someone he (Saad) can work with.

This was not part of the interview published then. And in all cases the Mubaraks were still a taboo then for both the private and state media. So that chat wasn’t published.

To cut a long story short, Saad Eddin Ibrahim, even at the height of his so called “conflict with the regime” is an opportunist, and has always been an opportunist, unrepentant normalizer with Israel, and an American lackey who embraced wholeheartedly the Bush doctrine. His latest public move to declare his support for Gamal Mubarak’s nomination should not come as a surprise.

إنسى يا جيمي
