Many liberal and secular activists demand that the ruling military push back the parliament elections, saying political parties can't be ready in time for September.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which is the best prepared for the race, strongly opposes any delay.

This "democracy" will exist briefly......just long enough for the MB to gain control.

From the State Department’s 7th floor great idea room: Hey, let’s give them a few billion in aid that we don’t have. That’ll fix things! And while we’re at it, let’s have Cairo Embassy sponsor an LGBT Celebration Day! It went so well in Islamabad!

An undercurrent to everything that happens in Egypt is a pretty terrible one. About 10% of their population have hepatitis C. About 8.2 million people.

It began when hundreds of thousands of Egyptians received injections against an a widespread, water borne parasite in the 1950’s to the 1980’s. And they reused needles and syringes. To make matters much the disease is also spread congenitally, so many Egyptian children are born with the disease.

Over time, the disease damages the liver resulting in cirrhosis. In patients with advanced cirrhosis, the liver begins to fail. This is a life-threatening problem. Confusion and even coma (encephalopathy) may result from the inability of the liver to process certain toxic substances.

Increased pressure in the blood vessels of the liver may cause fluid to build up in the abdominal cavity and result in engorged veins in the esophagus, that tear easily and can bleed suddenly and massively, quickly killing the victim.

This increased pressure also can cause kidney failure or an enlarged spleen resulting in a decrease of blood cells and the development of anemia, or the development of low blood platelets, which can promote dangerous bleeding.

In advanced cirrhosis, liver failure causes decreased production of clotting factors. Patients with advanced cirrhosis often develop jaundice because the damaged liver is unable to eliminate a yellow compound called bilirubin that is formed from the hemoglobin of old red blood cells.

Without a liver transplant, prognosis is poor. And odds of getting a liver transplant in Egypt are slim to none.

So no matter what happens in Egypt, good or bad, they face this disaster on top of it.
