In the 1970s, Algiers served as refuge to African Americans who confronted US racism with force and had to flee the country. Some Panthers hijacked planes.

We’ve all grown so used to the “Muslim terror” narratives of our favourite dictators – I’m talking about Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak and now, of course, Field Marshal-President al-Sissi of Egypt – that we’re in danger of believing them. The Muslim Brotherhood and its campaign of “terror” (in fact, Egypt’s violence has nothing to do with the Brotherhood) has allowed al-Sissi’s thugs to beat up, lock up, torture, murder and otherwise execute thousands of his people who object to his outrageous police state behaviour.
#Egypt extends presidential vote to Wednesday amid low turnout
▻http://english.al-akhbar.com/node/19922
Egypt’s #presidential_election was extended by a day on Tuesday in an effort to boost lower than expected turnout that threatened to undermine the credibility of the front-runner, former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. After #Sisi called for record voter participation, low turnout would be seen at home and abroad as an immediate setback for the field marshal who toppled Egypt’s first freely elected leader, the #Muslim_Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi.
Bassem Youssef: Morsy era was more democratic |

Satirist TV host Bassem Youssef, who presents Al-Bernameg TV show, said he wished there was no crackdown on the show adding that the “current regime should be asked about reasons which made [former president] Morsy’s era was more democratic than now.”
In a talk show on the privately-owned TV channel MBC Masr on Sunday, Youssef said that his show will not impede Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, defense minister, from winning the presidential elections, nor would it affect him in the case he won.
Any presidential candidate who wants to prove presence of freedom of expression should never be bothered by any show that criticizes him, Youssef said, adding that continuity of opposition shows that hold the government accountable under any regime shows the presence of democracy.
Youssef was a vocal critic of Morsy’s regime and Islamists, which exposed him to judicial lawsuits on insulting the president and blasphemy. His show was suspended on the privately-owned channel CBC by late 2013 due to mocking pro-Sisi campaigns.

Faustian pact with Egypt’s security state, by Nizar Manek

As the area around the fenced-up Meidan Tahrir pulsed with what felt like a gigantic fascist carnival for the cult of Field Marshal Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the shadow of Gamal Abdel Nasser seemed to rise from the pages of history. It was 25 January 2014, the third anniversary of the beginning of the end of Mohamed Hosni Mubarak’s rule - and the start of the protests that sought to end six decades of military rule, which had begun with Nasser and the military junta that deposed King Farouk. The Free Officers’ putsch of 1952 not only dispensed with constitutional monarchy and removed Egypt from the orbit of British colonialism; it also set loose Egypt’s army as autonomous agents answerable to no one.

“I hope Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi becomes the president, and starts implementing radical solutions to fix the problems caused by ousted President Mohamed Morsi and his clan over the year that felt like a hundred for Egyptians,” she added.
Addressing the future president, Babli advised him to “pay attention to education,” and “know that Egyptians need a man as strong as Hitler to punish citizens for any violations they commit.” Babli said she believes that this policy “will force fear into people, which will stop them from making further mistakes,” adding that “Egyptians should be obedient and observe the results.”
