YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - Sharif Abdel Kouddous reports from Egypt on the country's growing political crisis. Former president Hosni Mubarak is on life support, both candidates claim to have won last weekend's election and the ruling military council has seized greater power. Official presidential election results are not expected to be announced until Thursday. Tens of thousands of Egyptians protested Tuesday night in Cairo's Tahrir Square in a rally called by the Muslim Brotherhood, expressing outrage over the army's decree late Sunday that it would seize all legislative powers. "Right now, the country has no constitution, no parliament, and an incoming president that will have scant power," Kouddous says. "The military council is really controlling the key branches of state ... [It's] perhaps a fitting end to this nonsensical transition that we have seen over the last 16 months."
