Political Answers to Questions (On the current events in Egypt and Tunisia)
First: The Events in Egypt
The constitutional declaration was preceded about two weeks earlier by a notable event that had been prearranged, namely the call for the implementation of Shari’ah. The rallies dubbed as “The Friday of Implementing Shari’ah” were held on 9 November and organised by the so-called “al-Hazimoun” movement in reference to Sheikh Hazem Salah Abu Ismail. The domestic and foreign reaction by the secular movements and the Copts was fierce as evident in their spiteful statements. Meanwhile, Hazem Abu Ismail threatened the liberal and secular movements opposing the implementation of Shari’ah with a “flurry of Kandahars, one at night and another during the day, to achieve the implementing of Shari’ah”. He said: “The constitution has become categorically rejected, even without article 2.” Dr. Omar Abdul Aziz said: “We are prepared for Jihad for the sake of Shari’ah. Morsi would become like Mubarak if he did not implement Shari’ah; he who does not implement Shari’ah is Kafir.”
Then the constitutional declaration came on 22 November to cause a widespread uproar headed by the secularists and supported extensively by the Copts. The declarations made by the leaders of the secular parties and movements were remarkably embroidered. In fact, some declarations made by prominent secular figures such as al-Baradei, Hamdin Sabahi and Amr Moussa were so severe to the point where they gave the president no room for manoeuvre: he was made to choose between cancelling the constitutional declaration and resigning. It was also noted that ample space was given to the secular movements to flex their muscles and exaggerate their popularity.

Answer to a Question
About the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Hassan Al-Turabi and John Garang
The Sudanese authorities arrested the leader of the Popular National Congress, Hassan Al-Turabi on 21st February 2001. This was in the wake of the "Memorandum of Understanding" that the Popular National Congress signed with John Garang, leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement. The authorities justified the arrest by stating that “the "Memorandum of Understanding" was a declaration of a political alliance aimed at fighting the state alongside a movement that has been fighting the state for 18 years. This is not a political understanding between two movements… It is an agreement that flagrantly calls for a conspiracy and violent menaces.”

Answer to a Question
About the dimensions of the Libyan mediation regarding the Western hostages held in the Philippines
The Libyan mediation in the issue of the Western hostages kidnapped in the Philippines by the Abu Sayyaf group, which has been known for its links with the Libyan regime for two decades, is part of the series of actions aimed at restructuring the image of Libya in the eyes of world public opinion. Part of these actions was Gaddafi's withdrawal of his support to radical groups and his aiding of the peace efforts in the African continent, as well as other actions that will pave the way for Libya's return to the international community, in order to play a vital role in achieving the American interests in general and in the African continent in particular. However, this issue in particular has a specific aspect related to improving the image of the Libyan regime in the eyes of European public opinion. Hence, it was meticulously staged and it was not an incident that happened to be exploited. Evidence of this is reflected in the fact that all the hostages were Europeans. Six of them were French, two Germans and two Finns, in addition to two South African nationals whose presence was necessary for the political scenario, namely the intervention of Nelson Mandela, to plead with the Libyan regime to mediate and negotiate with the kidnappers. Evidently, the release of the hostages will bolster the standing of Gaddafi before African public opinion, which in turn will consolidate the position of Libya in the continent. Another evidence is reflected in the fact that the issue of kidnapping European subjects is almost a routine process in Yemen, and never have such events enjoyed this hyped media coverage on the scale of that given to the Libyan mediation with regard to the hostages of Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines.
