| 87. BBC: Egypt "Army in a big Mess" |
|
# 1123: In Cairo, Professor Abdallah Al-Ashal has told the BBC that the Egyptian army is "in a big mess". It doesn't want to be embarrassed, and some senior officers are very dismayed, he says. He adds that President Mubarak doesn't seem to be accepting comment or hints from anyone close to him. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12307698 |
