You might have followed yesterday, like most people I follow on social media, the first live presidential debate in Egypt between the former Muslim Brotherhood leader Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh Abdel Hady and former Secretary General of Arab League and Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa.
The fact this debate has happened is a great sign by itself. It’s not something we are used to in this part of the world.
Both candidates basically tried to mitigate their past in the brotherhood or old regime respectively, with opposite common accusations. Their postures seemed like quiet school students, until they became more attacking using more body language in the next half of the show.
The best fun part is below. It seems leading an Arab League for 10 years was not enough to teach Amr Moussa that Iran is NOT an Arab country. Funnier that host Yosri Fouda didn’t correct him.
At least he should have heard about Iran’s anger this week due to Google Maps removing “Persian Gulf” name off the map! But if you still find it if you search for it!
You can’t blame Orientalists anymore.
I truly believe that this whole presidential election crap is all a big charade to distract from the real issue which is that the old regime still exists init’s pragmatic format, be it the ideological spirit of the regime, or the legislative and executive sense too represented in the SCAF and the corrupt judicial structure among other things of course!!!!! in short elections under a corrupt host is no election…whoeevr is to be picked will be SCAF’s bitch
you stupid fool, what he meant wasn’t Iran being an Arab country… what he meant was that there shouldn’t be any conflict with Iran because its neighbors the Arab countries…….as in its a Muslim country and most importantly he meant a Iran is like a neighbor therefore same…… GOSHHH!
You stupid fool. Listen to it again, he says it twice that “Iran, as an Arab country, …”
Focus on what he says, not on what you think he wants to say.
Listen to it 100 times if you need to, unless you don’t understand Arabic and you are pretending you do.
Either way, you seem like a proper idiot…
