Egypt is about to experience the "Nigerian" treatment!

The same stunt Ibos tried to pull on the Nation back in '65, is what Mubarak has succeeded in pulling on his fellow country men in 2011!



7. [b]Constitutional crisis of January 1965: Following the controversial
Federal Election of December 1964, ceremonial President Azikiwe of the NCNC,
urged by radical intelligentsia, refused to invite Prime Minister Balewa of
the NPC to form a government and issued orders mobilizing the Army to
enforce his authority to suspend the government, annul the elections and
appoint a temporary interim administrator to conduct elections. However,
the oath of allegiance of the officer corps was not only to the Commander in
Chief but also to the government of Nigeria. The Army Act (#26 of 1960) and
the Navy Act (#9 of 1960) were also clear on lines of authority and control.
While the Army and Navy were "under the general authority" of the Defence
Minister in matters of "command, discipline and administration", the
authority for operational use and control was vested in the Council of
Ministers and the Prime Minister. President Azikiwe and the service chiefs
were so advised by the Chief Justice and Attorney General of the Federation.
Thus the Navy Commander, Commodore Wey politely told the President that the
Navy (under him), the Army (under Major General Welby-Everard) and the
Police (under Louis Edet) had decided to refuse his orders. After a week
of cliff hanging tension, in which the military stood aside, a political
compromise was eventually reached and a government of "national unity"
formed under Prime Minister Balewa. In the US Diplomatic Archives: Nigeria
1964-1968, the situation was characterized in this manner: "Very
complicated African politics, in which tribes, religions and economics all
play a part, are involved in the situation. The Northern Premier is at odds
with the Eastern Premier in whose region large oil deposits have been
discovered. In the heat of the election campaign, there have been threats of
secession by the east; threats of violence "that would make Congo look like
child's play" from the north, " At the same time, strong rumors of an
impending Army coup purportedly planned for the annual Army Shooting
competition were also heard in political circles. But the status quo held,
albeit temporarily.

Egpytians fought this revolution to get stuck with a Supreme Military Council?

Sometimes I just wonder about Africa. . . . .

They have always been ruled by a military turned civilian president so nothing new here.

Back to square one if the military decide to hold on to power.I see another IBB in the making.

It's not actually a ''revolution'' the way Al Jazeera and co keep painting it.

In truth, the intended revolution was TRUNCATED by the military.

But the people were so weary after weeks of demonstration that they were just glad to see the back of Mubarak, even if it meant the military replacing him.

It does look a bit orchestrated.
