| | Shot at democracy stuns Egyptians / Mubarak's bid could mark revival of politics in one-party state |
| | Some analysts have suggested that the real motive behind the 76-year-old Mubarak's call for constitutional reform may be to open a path to the presidency for his charismatic son, Gamal, who has led a drive for reform within the ruling party. | | | This is known here as the "American model," in which the father yields power and the son is then elected, as opposed to the "Syrian model," exemplified by former President Hafez Assad, who designated his son Bashar as his successor. | | | Aida Seif Al-Dawla, a member of the movement -- the first to publicly utter the words "Down with Mubarak" -- was blunt in her assessment of the proposed constitutional amendment: "Mish kifaya" (not enough). |
