I have a lady friend in Alexandria, Egypt and we have discussed the political situation there repeatedly. Basically the Muslim Brotherhood was welcomed as a change but its actions offended the hopes of the Egyptian people, albeit the educated city dwellers.

She was very depressed about the economic situation there which only worsened considerably when Mubarak was overthrown.

I'll talk to her as soon as the government reconnects their internet? She has been missing for 5 days now ...
