Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Egypt, Governance, Ideas, Politics

Egyptian blogger Baheyya gives us an insight to the perils of succession in Egypt [1]. “With Hosni Mubarak [2]’s rapidly advancing senility and Gamal Mubarak [3]’s incremental supremacy, the moment of power transfer is imminent and its direction appears clear. But there are so many wild cards and possible eleventh-hour developments at this juncture that the only certainty is that extraordinary uncertainty will accompany the process of succession,” she writes.
