Egypt is a country that comes alive after the sun sets and heat dissipates. So, much of the political action happens at night and drags on till the sun rises.
These are a set of images from two such long nights of political wrangling this week during the latest dust-up over Gamal Mubarak supporter’s posters in Cairo.
While newspapers gloss over the complex back-stabbing within the opposition parties proponents of a vibrant democracy have only these very flawed humans to put their hope in.
Some of the images are from Ayman Nour’s Al-Ghad Party and it’s internal wrangling for legitimacy against a splinter group. They will be holding elections for party president along side the splinter group on August 6th.
The other photos are from a political rally held at a Muslim Brotherhood center in Fayum.
The rally in Fayum, Egypt was against the Gamal and Hosni Mubarak in Egypts upcoming presidential election. The rally was attended by a wide array of representatives from political parties, including Al-Ghad, Kyfaya, The Muslim Brotherhood, Karama, and the Egyptian Socialist Party. At this meeting the Al-Ghad party premiered their new posters with a slogan “Gamal, Egypt is too big for you.”
