Kuwaiti Prof: US after desirable changes in Egypt

Kuwait, Feb 5, IRNA – A Kuwaiti political science professor said here Friday US is after imposing Washington’s desirable changes taking disadvantage of Egyptian nation’s popular uprising.
Dr. Ibrahim Al-Hodban added in an exclusive interview with IRNA, “The ongoing ‘revolution’ in Egypt is a revolution against the 30-year reign of despotism and corruption in that country.”

He added, “While the president and his family members and close friends are enjoying fabulous wealth (like almost every other Arab world leaders), the typical Egyptian people suffer from poverty, most Egyptian youths have been unemployed for years, and the foodstuff and other consumer goods’ prices, such as marriage expenses and house prices have been skyrocketing high in recent years.”

Referring to the background of popular revolutions in Egypt, he said, all the same the government has every time accused the Islamic Brotherhood of intriguing the unrests.

Professor al-Hodban added, “Such accusation have been aimed at convincing the Americans that in case the demonstrators would win in Egypt, a situation similar to that in Iran, or in Sudan would emerge in the hands of Ikhwan ul-Muslimin.

Referring to the insistence of the US president and top officials for Mubarak’s stepping down from power, He said, “This is the doomed end for the entire dictators, as the nations might tolerate them for a while, but that cannot go on for good, and their foreign allies too, care mainly for their interests, not for the embattled tyrant ruler.”

He said, “All the same, the Americans are doing their best to replace Mubarak with a civilian pro-west technocrat to honor the former government’s signed treaties with Israel.”

Speaking on the future of the Egyptian uprising, he said, “There is no bright foreseeable future for it unfortunately, since there is no united leadership, as there was in case of the Islamic Revolution’s Imam Khomeini (P).”

Further complaining about the ambiguity of affairs in Egypt, he said, “People like ElBaradei, too, are not popular among the people and there are serious doubts about them.”
