Sisi Has a Hegemony Problem

As its crisis of legitimacy deepens, a faux “civil society” is to reinforce the regime’s hold on power.

Mubarak’s henchman is dead

Safwat El-Sherif has died, and will be burried close to Mubarak. May they both rot in hell.

5-Star Prison

A dozen prisoners kept in a facility designed to lock 3,000 prisoners, with a gym, spa, pool tables→ That’s how the Mubaraks, killer cops and corrupt NDP officials spent their prison time. Compare that to the dismal conditions our comrades are kept in!

Here is a list of the leading members of Mubarak’s dissolved National Democratic Party.

Workers on the doorstep of the presidential palace

3arabawy — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:21:11 +0000

Not a single day that passes since his inauguration without labor protests in front of the presidential palace still primarily over economic demands, yet they start wading into clear political lines when the enemies include NDP businessmen and officials.

One group of workers come to protest, meet Morsi, some leave after promises, others continue to sit in as a new group of workers arrive to join the protests.

Elsewhere in the country, the industrial actions continue, and in cases workers are emboldened enough to start storming government buildings like what happened in Menoufiya yesterday.

The strike curve has already been going up. The Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights, for example, put the number of labor protests and industrial actions in the first half of May: 137 labor protests and industrial actions. The figure went down in the second half of May to 69, thanks to the presidential elections. And continued sliding in the fist half of June to 38, only to start increasing again in the second half of June to 119.

This post is tackling briefly the labor situation, since I’m short of time. But you can add other factors that accelerate the critical situation Morsi is sliding into, including the MB dismal performance in Tahrir with the suspension of the sit-in, the scandalous inauguration in presence of Tantawi and the SCAF generals, his failure to secure the swift release of prisoners sentenced by military courts.

Morsi has inflated the expectations of the public, but in reality he will not be able to deliver, because of the continuation of SCAF control on the one hand, and the opportunistic politics of the MB leadership.

An hot industrial summer is already in the making. Follow @EgyStrikes for continuous updates on labor protests.

Strikes: The common denominator

3arabawy — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:59:08 +0000

Although the current strike wave is still largely spontaneous without organized leadership, the common denominator between all the industrial actions remain:

1- Ridding the workplace from the corrupt managers, who are in most of the cases personnel affiliated with the Mubarak’s regime and its neoliberal program.

2- Job security. Most of the Egyptian workers spend years in the workplace without contracts, though social security and taxes are still deducted from their monthly salaries or daily wages.
