The Expanding Jurisdiction of Egypt’s Military Courts (Sahar Aziz, Brookings)

Egypt’s ongoing expansion of military jurisdiction under the pretext of economic development and public safety is yet another indicator that its revolution was stillborn. Although the military has long been a key political player, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s regime has promoted the military to the helm of Egypt’s political and economic affairs. In parallel, there has been an unprecedented expansion of military trials of civilians to serve the interests of the military generals governing the country.

A seguito del passaggio del cosiddetto "emendamento Regeni" - ovvero la decisione del nostro parlamento di bloccare l'esportazione di pezzi di ricambio di F-16 verso l’Egitto - il Cairo ha minacciato di riconsiderare la cooperazione bilaterale in materia di immigrazione irregolare.

Egypt’s Black Market Blues (Steven A. Cook, CFR)

Just as I was heading out the door yesterday, I received a message from my friend Timothy Kaldas with just two words: “They caved.” I knew exactly what he was referring to. The Central Bank of Egypt determined that it could no longer defend the Egyptian pound and devalued the currency a whopping 13 percent. You can now exchange a U.S. dollar at a bank in Cairo for about nine pounds, which is great for tourists, if there were any. It is about time Egyptian banking officials took this step, which immediately injected some confidence in the financial markets and among investors. It may seem beside the point to ask why it took them so long, but the answer to that question might tell observers something about what to expect next from Egypt’s economic policymakers.

Egypt's military government endures - but at what cost? (Wael Haddara, Al Jazeera)

One of the great lessons for the Egyptian military from Hosni Mubarak's 30-year reign must have been that it cannot allow executive power to wander too far from its own control. The military coup against Mohamed Morsi was about more than just wresting power from an Islamist president. It was about regaining control of the country from civilian control. This was first threatened under Mubarak's dynastic succession scheme and then after the uprising of January 25, 2011.
