Egyptian Writer 'Alaa Al-Aswany: Mursi's Rule Is No Different From Mubarak's; Keep Muslim Brotherhood From Taking Over Egypt In the lead-up to October 12, 2012, which will mark 100 days since the election of Egyptian President Muhammad Mursi, there has been increased criticism of his policies. The Youth Revolution Coalition is planning to hold a mass demonstration on that day, at which it will call on him to dissolve the Constituent Assembly, the body charged with drafting the new Egyptian constitution; to liberate all detainees from the revolution; to prosecute all those responsible for the killing of demonstrators; not to exempt SCAF members from prosecution; and to promote social justice.[1] It should be noted that a mass demonstration planned for August 24, 2012 against the Muslim Brotherhood's (MB's) takeover of the country failed to materialize, because a few days previously Mursi dismissed the military top brass and taken the reins of government away from the military, winning him considerable popularity. Following Mursi's promises to institute many changes in Egypt even before completing his first 100 days in office, numerous websites have been created to track his progress in fulfilling his promises. www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/6721.htm
