Issandr El Amrani | #jan25 Egypt I know a lot of journalists (and even some normal, decent people) out there are wondering about the who's who of the regime. As a person with a someone unhealthy obsession with the Egyptian regime for over a decade, I have been making charts of who's who for a while. Here are two:
The first one shows the who's who of the National Democratic Party - PDF.
And here's one of the top military brass - PDF:
If you use them, please credit this. And ideally, you should really donate to the site (see the donate button towards the top of the sidebar?) Don't be a moocher.
P.S. Efforts were made to ensure these were accurate but this is not a super-transparent system. Caveat emptor.

Amazing chart. Thank you! I would to to also see a list of major businesses tied to these figures; a visual representation of NDP corruption.
This was really helpful thank you very much. I do not think we understand our own government in America let alone those of other countries.
One day soon Egypt WILL = America
People need to understand that this will be the streets of America one day. Egypt is for us like the previews at the movie theater. We are the superpower and when we fall we will be the main event for the rest of the world. We can stop it, but only if people wake up, learn to sacrifice, and truly change themselves for the better.

The Tear Gas (Smoke Bombs) Used Against Egyptian Protesters were also Used at G-20
I live in El Salvador, Central America. I have no doubt that United States in the main responsible of the crisis in Egypt. The U.S Govt give around 150 millions dololars annually to mubarak just to sustain its power. A shame!! I think the president mubarak must leave the country and let the people to find its way. I support the people of Egypt, i think the country deserves better life, better jobs, etc. Go on people, do not submmit to mubarak. I think the majority of latin america is with you. go on, dont rest, the victory is around the corner!!!
Good work. Have you thought about outsourcing your services to the regime? ;)
Apparently you were able to capture, much better than anyone in the government ever was (or tried to), where the powers that decide Egypt's fates is distributed among (if you can ever say it's even shared among anyone other than Mubarak).
I hope soon we see 'VACANT' in all of those NDP boxes!
Issandr, take care of yourself and stay safe, OK?
Mubarak, Mubarak, al-Saudiyya intizarak!
A classic military dictatorship flow chart.
The USA and the World needs so badly to get some good news, to get lucky, as it were. When I think of Mubarek's offer to 'share power', I think of Robert Magabe's similar offer and what it has led to. These are two men who have octogenarian foreheads calling out for a bullet between the eyes. Think how many lives those two bullets would save. An Egyptian military officer should stand up and perform his patriotic duty. Being a man of religious bent, I pray that he will. Sooner rather than later. Mubarek said he wanted to die on Egyptian soil; he should be obliged.
Speaking of has been I was wondering if former member of the cabinet that were set aside in the past could come back in a transitional government. I am thinking in particular of Amr Moussa whose growing popularity a few years back had him pretty much sent by Mubarak to a golden closet (the Arab league). He has a fair number of things going for him: he was and probably remains fairly popular among the Egyptian people, he is not part of the existing regime anymore but knows the system, also he is not unknown quantity for the West as he was foreign minister. Israel would not be happy with him in charge of anything but he seems like a good compromise between change and continuity for a cabinet position. What y'all thinking?
