To get his central message out there over hezbollah he said we see no acceptable difference between hezbollah having Political Representation within the the matrix of lebanese politics and hezbollah fighters and what they do on the ground when it comes to so many ongoing conflicts across the region across the broader middle east and to to listen very clearly naming countries like yemen countries like iran countries like syria lets put that all in context for you for you our correspondents in a harder following that News Conference out of beirut zina for you what was that the takeaway point there from both mr hariri and also mr tell us. Well there are a few points first and foremost that its clear that lebanon and israel law are not any closer to an agreement on the maritime border dispute that this really which has heightened tensions. The Prime Minister and the secretary of state saying that there will be further discussions we know that tillerson came here with a proposal a proposal which has been put on the table in the past and we do know that lebanon is not accepting this proposal because it involves giving up three hundred square kilometers of lebanons territorial waters so it still heighten tensions between these two countries and further work needs to be done we also heard tellers and say and making it very clear that the u. S. Position has not changed concerning a law saying im going to stop you there well come back to you when we can so ramaphosa the new South African president just about to talk to. The South African Parliament in cape town. Weve had him being. Sworn in weve had the your chief justice saying he wasnt used to seem. In the courtrooms that hes used to working in civil rights. Such a key parts of it in fight against apartheid lets just listen in to what the new South African president is saying thank you everyone for and you especially madam speaker for giving me this brief opportunity when i walked in i had occasion to go past to. The chief justice was there all being himself and as he emerged i saw him fully roped up. With having taken off his tie and suit jacket i looked at him and i said chief justice when this position of chief justice came up. I said like its to possibly by because of their opening its a position that i could have opted for but because of this role being business i thought no im not quite interested in it. But we had a bit of a conversation and and in the end i said well i seem to have taken on a much more difficulty ask and the chief justice laughed at me so much of justice is the real pleasure to have you here and thank you very much for having changed your program id like to thank all the members of this assembly i thank you for their own that you best go on me by electing me to this position i truly feel humbled to have been given this great privilege of being able to serve our people i also want to extend my gratitude to the leaders of Political Parties who are here as well as the media this for me is a truly humbling occasion soon once i am so on in i will no longer be a member of this house i will miss being a member but that does not bring this collegiate feeling that i have with all members here because i will. Be coming to this house on a regular basis to exercise my accountability as president of the republic to answer your questions and to interact with you and or a range of matters that affect the lives of our people. Thank you one of the things that i would be seeking to do is to have an opportunity which i started doing. When i was appointed Deputy President. Seek to work with all Political Parties. And were started off well started off with one thing to have a meeting with the leaders of all Political Parties so that we can try and find a way of working together and im heartened by some of the sentiments expressed here about working together which i will want to touch on. And i will do all this as a servant of our people because i do believe that when one is elected in this type of position you basically become a servant of the people of south africa and ill seek to execute that task with humility with faithfulness and with dignity as well that is what i will seek to do thank god like to thank all the parties that have spoken this is not a moment for me to speak because that moment will be accorded to me tomorrow i believe but listening to all the parties were expressed a whole lot of sentiments here it is almost like in our culture. When a young man come becomes a man you are given. Almost instructions. Chief. Why are you why are why was the order out how do we is now his name is what do go with the order it was some way to his unite is so so run a person whos not technically been sworn in South African president says that will happen in about ninety minutes or two hours from now. Telling us that when he is sworn in when he comes back to the chamber tomorrow for his official speech he will deliver on his duties in an atmosphere of humility faithfulness and dignity as well. About poetry or tism is spoken largely about how we can all Work Together to improve the lives of our people that has a great deal of resonance with i believe in and what i intend to do. Now very briefly and just responding to some of the good wishes of the advice that up received on there about my money. And his wonderful words and almost soils them by saying im going to see you in twenty nineteen. Now i think is running ahead of himself is running ahead of himself because other bit of my money im going to be seeing you regularly here in this house. On an ongoing basis so leave trying to nineteen aside let us deal with the current moment and Work Together on how were going to improve the lives of our people rather than grandstanding rather than standing on the cross thats all i want to say. Honorable seeing not like to thank you im sorry that. Honorable is not here. That his plane was to record back to today and im sorry about that. I would have i would have loved to to receive the good wishes from him as well the issues that you have raised issues that have to do with corruption issues of how we can straighten out our state owned enterprises and how we deal with state capture is issues that are on our radar screen those are issues that were going to be addressing and tomorrow we will also have an opportunity to outline some of the steps that we are going to be taking hon could be. I think you because you went to the heart of the matter by talking about pro to autism and how we can Work Together to put our Country First that is precisely what i was president of the republic would want to do south africa Must Come First in everything that we do. General. Who continues to call me his secretary general because when he was a member of the African National congress we called each other with wonderful india and i said general to him he continues to say secretarygeneral and i accept today and i agree with you that we should find ways of working together on issues as you said correctly of National Interests and. General ones out. Rugby is the words is out. There that already is a good sign of demonstrating that up across party lines we should have an opportunity of sitting together and it ing meet our world life to take you up on that. Honorable for never out. Yes i want to join you in saying that it would be wonderful if the level of debate in this house can be raised to a level where were really beginning to engage our National Issues without screaming at each other without you know. Your point of order on an ongoing basis and the disorder that has often defined what happens in this house. Yes i would want us to rise to that level and also and i agree that you would want a president who would respect not only this house but the members of this house i join you completely on that but i think the flipside of that coin also says that we should respect one another but in respecting one another it means that we are respecting this house that our people set up it means that we will be respecting our people so i would say that less underpin everything that we do here through a great sign of respect to our people because when our people look at this parliament they see themselves represented and they dont want to see disorder they dont want to see poor levels of debate they want to see debates that are going to lead to the improvement of their lives let us rise to the occasion. Reverend michel and i share history together and maybe its important that we should both confess now. We were at University Together and we both belong to the Student Christian Movement. The difference was is that i was his leader when we were members of the Student Christian Movement and he followed me and so its wonderful that we are both in this parliament representing our people yes reverend measure would pay heed to the advice that youre giving that we should choose a great team thats precisely what our people deserve to have a team that will work for their interests in the interest. Yes. And also that all of us it does not only be hope on the president but all of us should be able to work and lead our people with great courage and that is precisely what we want to seek to do. Deputy president of the i c s you were not i were both Deputy President s of our Organization Im sorry that you elect to be behind a little bit. But id like to welcome your very kind words. Where you say you will support the work that i will be doing and that you will give us much support to what we will all be doing collectively so i think you for that my dear is d p. Thank you very much. To the leader of the p. C. s this is not here to whom weve never thought that this was who what weve always said is that we are going to seek to improve the lives of our people on an ongoing basis and since one thousand nine hundred ninety four weve done precisely that the lives of our people have been improving on an ongoing basis and the commitment that you will find on this side which commitment i would like you also to be part of is that all of us should continue to improve the lives of our people and take their lives to a higher level id like to end by thinking my common rejects and temple for your most wonderful words i thank you and im here as a result of the support that ive received from my organization the African National congress. The African National congress which continues to lead the nation no democratic revolution in our country to bring about change is what has hoot many of us here in this house and our intent is to continue indeed to improve the lives of our people and ladies and gentlemen members of this house. Of justice that is what i would like to see at this moment and thank you all for this great opportunity that ive been given and i will try to work very hard not to disappoint the people of south africa i thank you very much. Cyril ramaphosa receiving a standing ovation from his supporters inside the Parliament Building the South African government building. He was talking about humility faithfulness and dignity he was saying the grandstanding is now not something that anyone should be indulging in as they move forward towards elections in twenty nineteen he said and he understands that the people of south africa want a president who respects the house and that means that they respect each other he said the big issues that we have to deal with he named them three of them and in the main corruption state capture thats a fancy way of saying peddling influence and also he will outline tomorrow the steps that he plans to take between now and the election to make sure that he can deliver on that he said the people of south africa want the tone of the debate within the South African Parliament basically to move in the right direction because if the debate is productive and genuine and its done in an atmosphere and in cocaine. An atmosphere of dignity the people of south africa will get a better life well hell face a range of challenges of course including high unemployment and widespread violence on the streets he will as weve been hearing face the people in just a year the elections are shuttled for next year to meet with more. Years the chief negotiator in the final days of jacob zuma as presidency Cyril Ramaphosa stam as acting president is a signal of change but celebrations by his supporters may be short lived as attention to to what comes next he was elected president of the ruling African National congress in december by a slim margin and will have to work to unite his divided party he will also have to repair the political and economic damage suffered under zuma and improve the partys image after years of allegations of corruption. Is a different kind of president to anything weve had before this is a modernist this is somebody hes a negotiator hes a rican ciliated as well but here is a man of very clear determined purpose he has stuck with jacob zuma for how many years sitting by zuma embarrassed the country embarrassed himself and thats. Going along with what had happened in south africa has given the impression that. I dont think he is. Let them up as a remain stinted by criticism over his involvement in american or killings in which police shot and killed thirty five striking miners six years ago as a board member of one of the Largest Mining Companies in south africa at the time and im opposed i was accused of being behind the governments decision to break the strike apologized saying he had stepped in to prevent further das as a politician turned businessman them opposing. The confidence of the Financial Sector under suma unemployment rose to currency and Investor Confidence weakened and the countrys Credit Rating went down the end his new leader said he plans to create jobs and has set an Economic Growth target of three percent for desir thats more than double the rate predicted by the International Monetary fund during the last election support for d. N. C. Fell to sixty two percent many hold the party of Nelson Mandela will be able to reverse this trend under did leadership of rome a poser. Ok lets pause for a second going to talk to me as well she joins us live here in the studio she is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution here in doha undoubtedly historic scenes we havent seen that kind of thing at all ever in South African politics when someone like him uses the word dignity is that a signal to the electorate or m. P. s it was even a dig at jacob zuma saying you werent dignified before well thats an astute question but im not sure its a dig at him even though you know its a good in that an analogy to make i think hes trying to be his own man i think is trying to give a speech you know that he crafted that will in this sense you know define hes you know hes future leadership and were going to see more of that more even ing with the state of the nation the grease i think with dignity hes hes showing that he acknowledges you know hes aware of the loss of faith in the in c. The fact that the ins hes been discredited by the widespread corruption in and certainly rome was not built in a day to really read the agency of this rock as you would turn his public correspondence aid you know will take time so i think the optimism is fantastic for him you know for a moment and one also thought of one thousand nine hundred four of mandelas election event but i think that the in c. Now really has its work and drama poser has its work cut out for it but when you talk about having his work cut out for him is there a sense in which perhaps hes the least worst option in as much as yes i mean people standing up cheering and singing in the parliament that makes Great Television headlines however there were people sitting with their arms crossed and kind of saying no im not celebrating this that much its a step in the right direction but im not going to chant and sing songs absolutely i think it is telling that you know the opposition members absolutely remain seated were not rejoicing i think that what that indicates is that you know the n. C. Would have to prove itself again that would really have to prove itself there was this. A question mark hanging over his integrity around the corner massacre of of two thousand and twelve because hes an enormously rich person and has had enormous influence so the question is whether hes been tainted at all during you know the last few years in terms of. The malays that afflicted im talking in very vague terms because hes not actually been convicted of anything you know hes not you know formally or officially been found to have been guilty of anything but in terms of how widespread the corruption was right we still need to see to see how hes going to clean things up and its interesting that he used the word accountability because we would want to see you know very quickly what hes going to do about the corruption charges against the president for example whether hes going to allow the National Prosecuting authority to truly act independently for example because that is been a you know a problem for many years that theres been no independent prosecutions of high level figures in there for example undoubtedly he is an astute political beast i mean one wanted to believe that he was speaking there in the last extemporaneously that he was making up as he went along no of course not hes thought about that speech and he had his little notepad written but as a politician who is he or maybe to turn that round another way you know jacob zuma almost the culture that he hung on to when he was in the top job you know he had this there was always a subtext to jacob zuma which was look im a proud zuma i want more than one wife i will have more than one wife and you cannot attack me right because of that so there was a reaction to him reacting to what he thought he was people were getting at him about something you know so that was his culture that he brought to the job whosoever on the poster was he coming from well hes coming from from two places i believe hes coming from you know the place of the constitution which is very very proud. Because you know hes very well known for having the in the taper sort of the Constitutional Assembly and their constitutional state constitutional supremacy so that promise that is very promising on the other hand hes coming from business right and he must have been enormously shrewd businessman so how those two you know. Things are going to to marry or doing would have to be seen and i dont think it can be taken for granted that investors would jump on south africa as an investment destination now i think a lot still needs to be remedied before this will happen our growth rate is one point four percent which is dismally low and he knows that you know a lot of work has to be done and he will have to get experts in to do that hes got a lot a lot of glad handing when you get the chinese economy on seven seven point seven percent and they know that and the rest of the world knows that as well right exactly exactly and one would really have to make as attractive we are not attractive just because some oppose are now you know sorry is now in charge by me of course structure thank you so much was saying on the consonance and Opposition Movement for Democratic Change has chosen a new leader to replace Morgan Chang Ryan Nelsen chamisa will be acting president for the next twelve months sixty five died on weapons day after a long battle with cancer he was a towering figure in the opposition and a symbol of resistance against the former president robert mugabe. The resilience to life we have lost the sense that weve lost our. Style i think that we wanted. To leave this and thats maybe twenty feet to. The top leadership is going to do with. It i would this is what we do not want to damage this legacy of a tacit joins us live from harare Nelson Chamisa kerry who is he. Well need someone who has quite a bit of support in be on position by forty year old painter young and above in politics hes well educated so publicly and his supporters say they will to work on the crowd they hope that really appealed to him and maybe younger people in the public will judge especially as a country his legend in a few months time his critics say he is maybe a little bit too young politically in the cool what was noticeable about this meeting is that to the individuals who wanted to leave the party did not attend we also gave a shit where they were they said well we are going to come they they had the going to come but they just didnt show up it just gives an indication that perhaps the divisions within the office of a widening and the off base that each individual took was a bit of a live city goes up for a united front with Nelson Chamisa who they have criticized as being too young to lead such a you and maybe we could be at that intimate office of hockey in zimbabwe i want to the plans for mr chang. How the country i guess says said well. If that in a game thats all there is no say yes they will padding thats what they say they want about it i would name him and National Hero here in zimbabwe that title will be goes to people who could give it to them like the country from a maybe Liberation War veteran people who are belong to the readings on the hit fox even prince and probably will probably be a National Hero but if that one looks like it i fear it is gruel holed into the head of up to hundreds of kilometers away from here and next to places like susan so they still padding with that without saying it is going to be a unique things about it invited all the people who have issues with the youll put would have nothing to be sequential not possible but even extend a hand to the meetings on cape cod to say common also gives womankind a big farewell and a geek. Thanks very much. The kenyan government is appealing against a court ruling which provoked the deportation of a prominent member of the opposition mcgoohan immigrant i was arrested after taking part in a mock swearing in ceremony for the Opposition Leader raila odinga last month that was held in protest over last years elections a judge said the order to deport him was illegal and that his kenyan passport must be returned to him when the holes jule kenyan and canadian citizenship. If european Prime Minister. Submitted his resignation early mariam says hell stay in his really needs all the transition of power is complete he says hes tried to solve the crisis in this country and is resigning to be part of the solution years of antigovernment protests have left hundreds dead and tens of thousands detained he took office in ten to twelve joins us live in the studio youve reported extensively from that region how significant is this quite significant peter. Undersell an overall from the beginning many so he must have a placeholder. Whats happened during the last three years of protests by the or more on the mahatma who are the two main pillars communities in the country is definitely whats for him leaving office because hes been accused of being very lenient with them or the real power again in ethiopia rests with the military. I imagine vessel and resignation is expected to pave way for what the Ruling Coalition the e. P. A. R. B. F. Ethiopian peoples revolution or Democratic Front see as probably the solution to undress that has gripped the country at the moment but is it a given if he is correct when he says i can pull this off in effect from going potentially being seen as part of the problem to being all of the solution will he then be invited back all he then get back into office no i dont think so i think his pastas. Its not him who is going to be dealing with the unrest anymore hes out of office and completely out as i said he has largely been seen as a placeholder to begin with hes a protest and in a country that is largely Orthodox Christians and also he comes from a very small group hes party actually is not is the smallest party within the Ruling Coalition so hes out of the picture what the military where the power the political pilot who could rest im going to do from now on even is look at how they can be able to or piskies two main populous communities who have instigated this unrest it sounds on the face of it for this this is going to generate more uncertainty not less uncertainty well to Model Parliament is going to meet and choose his successor to be of pertti the coalition has already accepted his resignation. Just moments ago. Its very interesting to watch who you are in the. Lead council is going to choose the needed after him to sell it if they choose either or from either of these two main groups who have been protesting for most of the past three years they to be interesting to see apostle how theyre going to a piece the other group that they leave out of this coalition already they have been talking to the somalis who are the Third Largest ethnic group in the country the talks started this week this week in nairobi between the Ethiopian Government and are going to the National Liberation front. Now whether theyre going to also bring them in and see whether they can be able to get us much more. Support. From ministers was this expected. Yes at one point people in ethiopia and in the entire horn of africa region need that high limit on this island was going to leave it was just when but the way he has managed to understand the lives housefull so that his departure will have it thanks so much seventeen people have been killed in the u. S. State of florida by a gunman who opened fire at a high school that happened in parkland north of miami police say the suspect was a former student who was expelled from the campus. Reports of gunfire came as students at Marjorie StonemanDouglas High School were about to leave a code red alert was issued the school was locked down its peoples let out with their hands in the air. While those still trapped inside could only hide as gunshots rang out just a tell them stairs and they were putting personnel the students also baseball fields but i heard stories of people shooting that going to shoot the crowd so i ran the opposite direction and i got up campus actually before the police got here the rescue operation was made difficult by the sheer size of the school its one of the largest in Broward County with more than three thousand students but the scale of this latest tragedy soon became clear twelve victims were in the building. And shoot to victims are outside just outside the building one on the street at the corner of pine island. And two people who lost their lives at the Hospital Police say nineteen year old Nicholas Cruz seen here being arrested by police is the suspected shooter hed been expelled from the school and came back reportedly with an Assault Rifle and smoke grenades the scorch a School Shooting after School Shooting it only happens here not because of coincidence not because of bad luck but as a consequence of our inaction. We are responsible for a level of mass atrocity that happens in this country with zero parallel anywhere else President Trump took to twitter offering his prayers and condolences saying no child or teacher should feel unsafe in a school and a gallagher joins us live from the scene in parkland florida and the several people still in a Critical Condition whats the latest information on how theyre fairing. Well were not getting much information from the hospital we do know that the death toll still stands at seventeen were not sure how many of those seventeen are students and how many are teachers but what is emerging is a portrait of a young man with a deeply troubling background Nicholas Cruz was someone who was obsessed with weapons someone whod taken to social media and talked about shooting schools and in fact some of the teachers the schools and even warned the authorities that this was someone they had to watch out for so clearly the signs were there he literally fits the profile of someone who would carry out a heinous act like this so the questions are now being asked as to why it was not flagged up why he was able to get hold of an a r fifteen Assault Rifle that is unfortunately a weapon that is used in almost all School Shootings in this country and once again peter that debate about gun control has come to the fore democrats are calling for change republicans as usual offering their condolences and prayers but at the end of the day nothing is likely to change remember after the last Vegas Shooting which i covered last year they were talking about banning stocks that modification to Assault Rifles that essentially makes them automatic that legislation which was agreed on by all politicians in this country has gone absolutely nowhere meanwhile this community here in parkland is in mourning grief counselors have been brought in funeral arrangements are being made and this is a city this is a community that will take years to recover from one of the deadliest School Shootings in u. S. History to get the feeling in me that the death toll might actually have been higher had it not been for the fact that i think im right in saying this school had actually rehearsed course it would be like to come under attack from a gunman Walking Around the campus because there was a system of self locking doors and at one point we understand he was almost stalking the color of doors looking for potential victims. Well its not unusual in fact its lore in this country that schools have to have those kind of security arrangements and they have to carry out those kinds of drills thats the unfortunate reality of being a school child in the United States these days but what we do know is this remember is a School Building that crews knew well he walked in there with a gas mask with smoke grenades he triggered the fire alarm to get as many students out of the classrooms as possible to inflict as much damage as possible so despite the fact that there were drills despite the fact that there was a hospital very close by this is one of the three most deadly School Shootings in this countrys history and we know in fact now that when crews left the school because he was arrested some way away from the school he actually just mingled in with the crowd to get away so it took the police a while to catch him so the story here really is no matter how many drills you practice no matter how many red code alerts that you issue if somebody wants to walk into a school with Something Like an a r fifteen Assault Rifle they are by the very nature of that weapon going to inflict huge damage as happened here in parchman florida. Thank you. Hundreds of palestinians jailed in israel for administrative offenses have started boycotting the courts the defendants of us lawyers not to attend their Court Sessions they accuse israels military judiciary of torture and keeping detainees in prisons without charge or trial for years. A new report by the u. K. Based group save the children has highlighted a rise and Sexual Assault and violence against children in war zones the Organization Says that one in six of the worlds children live in conflict zones thats three hundred fifty seven million seventy five percent increase since the early one nine hundred ninety s. Syria afghanistan and somalia are the three most dangerous conflict affected countries to be a child around half of all children in conflict zones like access to schools and health facilities. Well one of the dangerous places for children is the occupied west bank which was last year fourteen were killed and almost one thousand were injured when a smith now reports from ramallah. Its hard to concentrate in class when a chunk of your skull has been blown away by a rubber coated bullet. Mohammed to me was shot in december by an israeli soldier during protests in the occupied west bank hes fifteen years old. Before the injury i used to understand things when i read he says but no i dont i think at a lot. Too in every five children in the middle east a living in a conflict zone according to save the children has the highest rate globally and that includes countries like syria iraq yemen and here in the occupied palestinian territories. And its here the conflict is in jordan the longest from the start of the first Palestinian Uprising in one thousand nine hundred eighty seven just in the last twelve months fourteen children have been killed and almost a thousand injured in confrontations in the west bank. The somehow mad honestly its not just mohamed i have almost weekly cases rubber bullets to the legs in the body not to mention they are a son imprisonments some of these kids also have parents in prison even no one to take care of them or give them the support they need at home they struggle with psychological issues. Since twenty ten the number of un verified cases worldwide of children being killed or maimed has gone up by almost three hundred percent and had. Many things have become difficult things are not like before when he wants to play i keep telling him to come back and not to play so now he feels that he is different from the other kids. Mohammed will soon have a lengthy series of operations to reconstruct his skull youll never fully recover but he hopes he says to be able to play football again but its made out his era ramallah more than fourteen thousand refugees are stuck in limbo in indonesia as they wait for resettlement in other countries many are in Detention Centers but theyre full to capacity leaving many homeless and so desperate theyre asking to be put into prison or step bus. Desperate refugees outside jack after Us ImmigrationDetention Center families with small children even newborns are camping outside the gate hoping to be let in many of them have skin problems in the. Areas from afghanistan he says after four years in indonesia he has lost hope any country will accept him and his family money provided by his family back home has run out the real. And present but give us before. Youve found pinned up we should not be and ive been under the sun in the nisha is not a signatory to the Un Convention on refugees many use the country as a transit point to go to a stray or to be resettled in the United States or europe but more than fourteen thousand have been stuck here after most countries closed their borders. Sorry jeff was seven when she arrived in indonesia four years ago she and her family barely survived a journey when their boat sank where we have other mine i had fresh so my if my father can support that so i cant stand him so thats why youre sleeping. But immigration Officials Say they cant let the refugees in the Detention Center is already overcrowded inside the Detention Center conditions are even more grim what and three hundred refugees have been detained in a place with a capacity of only one hundred crammed together in a small room many have fallen ill refugees who have been waiting for many years to be resettled to another country have now become prisoners in indonesia many refugees Hope International organizations will take care of them as soon as they are detained but the un agency for refugees to un h. E r says theres not enough money to help all the refugees stuck in indonesia. Increasingly some have decided to return to their home country instead last year four hundred returned to afghanistan although the u. N. H. C. R. Says the country is not safe not from our perspective but if refugees are willing to go if they decide that its safe enough for them to go back home we cant say we wouldnt stop them. And certainly there are refugees at every turn back to afghanistan from various countries that spread it. Because i have no other option. I cant make that decision for anyone it is a decision that every refugee makes for themselves while the indonesian government says its looking for a solution for the stranded refugees people from the neighborhood are providing them with water food and medical help but in numbers are increasing and it will be hard for volunteers to continue to support them step fasten aljazeera jack after.

Aboul fotouh has called for a boycott of the upcoming president ial elections these elections are phony and Everybody Knows that its a shadow play and a kind of referendum but there is one way in which sisi could still kind of win a referendum which would be if theres large turnout and hes obviously popular so. Call for a boycott is extremely threatening to the regime sisi has gradually been cracking down i mean the human rights situation in egypt is worse than it has been in its modern history even in the late mubarak period people were not so arbitrarily arrested and so many instances and so this is a moving towards north korea territory its just a. Totalitarian state its all about power for the officer corps in general and for. Sisi in particular its about the power of one man the u. N.
