World press on confusion in Egypt (December 22-23, 2012)

"Navigating through truly turbulent waters and often creating the waves himself, President Mohamed Morsi has so far failed miserably to steer the ship in any direction" the article published recently by the Hurriyet Daily News reads. "To the continuing disappointment of many of his own supporters and many who chose his leadership over that of the army or the old regime, albeit reluctantly, the president, his clan, his aides, his party and his government have failed to unite Egyptians in any one direction. If anything, since the infamous first constitutional declaration in November, later revoked with yet another one, Morsi’s actions and mostly apparent inaction due to the pressure and rising show of power of a finally united opposition have further divided Egyptians", the author of the article, Hala Elkholy , writes.
"Today could be a decisive round in the current string of events, as the rest of Egypt again takes to the polls to say “yes” or “no” to a highly contested Constitution. Even for the referendum, the country had to be divided in two batches as the organizing and monitoring ability was curtailed due to serious confrontations and more divisions among the judicial institutions in the country," the article reads. "The “either-or” scenario might not prove to be Egypt’s best option to weather the fierce storm in a confused sea. It will be ultimately up to Egyptians to unite once more," the article ends.
"Opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood has solidified. Saleh's daughter, Ghada, placed the blame for Egypt's current ills squarely at the Brotherhood's doorstep. "Muslims have never killed Muslims in Egypt before on such a scale," she said, in reference to the 5 December violence outside the presidential palace between Morsi supporters and opponents in which nine people died," the article published recently by the Guardian reads.
