Christiane Amanpour Interviews El-Mostapha Hegazy :Removal Of President Morsy Was Creative Democracy

By Mick Krever and Claire Calzonetti, CNN

The arrest in Egypt of the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, is“proper” and not just “vindictive,” an adviser to the interim Egyptian president said on Tuesday.
“I wouldn’t say just a victory from a vindictive standpoint, but from the standpoint that we are restoring law and order in a country which has its own sovereign rights,”ElMostafa Hegazy told CNN’s Hala Gorani, who is sitting in for Christiane Amanpour.


Hegazy, speaking from Cairo, said that the military ousting of Mohamed Morsy from the Egyptian presidency was necessary because Morsy “and his group, and his militias, has been terrorizing Egyptian, I would say at least emotionally.”
“Maybe it’s a kind of creative democracy that we haven’t seen,” Hegazy contended, “but because we didn’t have the process of impeaching the president through a parliament, we had to do it the way that we’ve done it.”

Egypt in recent days has been wracked by extreme violence. In the past week, about 900 people – civilians though also security personnel – have been killed.

But Hegazy said that the government’s response to pro-Morsy protests is “not at all” like the ruling style of Hosni Mubarak.

METRO REPORT: WOMAN ARRESTED FOR STABBING ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE FACE

An August 18th baby shower in Nebraska ended on a bloody note after two friends got into a physical altercation over a man that they both dated. Julia Bol, 28, and Rebecca Boss, 41, exchanged words in a heated argument about the nature of Julia’s relationship with the father of Rebecca’s child. The fight escalated when Julia took a six-inch stiletto shoe that Rebecca was holding in her hand hit her in the face with it. Reports say that Julia struck Rebecca so hard with the shoe that the heel punctured her cheek.

"The stiletto heel punctured the victim’s cheek and had to be pulled out of her face,” a police report on the incident read.

After hitting Rebecca with the shoe, Julia allegedly knocked her to the ground and proceeded to choke her. Following the incident, the victim was taken to Bryan West Medical Center where she was treated for neck bruises and a facial laceration. Julia was arrested on suspicion of strangulation and assault, and taken to the Lincoln County Jail. She, too, had to receive medical attention for a minor arm injury. She was scheduled to appear in court yesterday over the incident.

What a mess.

AFRICAN REPORT: POWER AFRICA INITIATIVE BY BARRACK OBAMA (A GROUND – BREAKING SUPPORT FOR AFRICA)
Addressing CEOs in Tanzania on 1 July, US President Barrack Obama said he saw Africa as the next major success story and with Power Africa he wanted the US to be part of that success.

The strategy is aimed at doubling access to electricity in Sub Saharan Africa. Thanking the African Development Bank for its partnership, as well as many companies that have stepped up with commitments, including some here,” President Obama said.
In his Address the AfDB president Donald Kaberuka said in Dar es Salaam, “We expect to allocate as much as US$3bn in the next five years... this will leverage at least four times more investments in the energy sector.”

Kaberuka noted that the bank’s interventions will include investment loans, reforms, advisory and guarantees. “Reforming the power sector is the key. The billions of dollars available for investment in the energy sector will translate into actual bulbs in people’s homes if state utilities run efficiently and effectively,” he added.

The main financial source for the bank’s assistance to the energy sector in the power initiative is the African Development Fund (ADF) and AfDB’s concessional window.

This indeed is a step in the right direction , we expect the “Power Africa Initiative” to bridge the gap of Abject Poverty in Africa
