(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Egypt may go through a second revolution, as the situation has not changed much since the ouster of the former authoritarian regime, said a senior Egyptian political analyst.
“Every day it is starting to be murkier, and we have the same policies like [those of former dictator Hosni] Mubarak. So the same reasons that made them (the Egyptian people) revolt the first time will make them revolt the second time,” Dina Fergani said.
The analyst warned, “Even it is going to be more violent and harsher, because of all the sacrifices that have been made.”
Fergani referred to the recent reinforcement of emergency law in Egypt, describing it as a sign that shows the remnants of the old regime are still in power.
On September 10, the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) announced the Emergency Law decision after Egyptian protesters stormed the Israeli embassy in Cairo a day before, destroying a part of a barricade wall around the building in the process.
Under the Egyptian Emergency Law, police powers are extended, constitutional rights are suspended, and censorship is legalized.
Fergani argued that Egypt's ruling system seeks to “challenge the people and their demands, and they are not taking the demands seriously at all.”
Egyptians are demanding a civilian government and are worrying that the military rulers may be secretly plotting to remain in power after parliamentary and presidential elections, which are supposed to take place by the end of this year.
The protesters are calling for swift change and the ouster of military rulers that have replaced Mubarak.
