YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - A historic election is underway as Egyptians head to the polls for the first presidential election since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. For the first time in the country's history, the winner is not a foregone conclusion. We go to Cairo for an update from Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Despite predictions of a high turnout, Kouddous says concerns remain over the role of Egypt's military rulers: "Many say we cannot have a president without a constitution. The president is essentially being elected without knowing exactly [his] authorities vis-a-vis the military, the cabinet, the parliament. Many of these young revolutionaries say any president that comes will be a puppet for the Supreme Council and will not have any real power, and the real struggle will continue to be in the streets."
