Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America Instant View - Egypt's Mubarak picks PM; has VP for first time Reuters - 2 hours 30 minutes ago Send IM Story Print CAIRO - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 82, picked his intelligence chief and confidante Omar Suleiman as vice president, and a former air force commander and aviation minister, Ahmed Shafiq, as the next prime minister. SAFWAT ZAYAT, MILITARY ANALYST "The story of Gamal and Mubarak is over. Now, the regime is looking for who will rescue it. Mubarak, Omar Suleiman and Ahmed Shafiq know each other on a personal level. Their task in the coming months would be to ensure Mubarak's safety until the end of his reign. They will reorganise the regime's internal affairs. Both Safiq and Omar Suleiman come from the military establishment, and this indicates what the next government will be like." GAMAL ABDEL GAWAD SOLTAN, HEAD OF AL AHRAM Centre FOR POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC STUDIES "This is a step in the right direction and it needs to be completed by further measures. These decisions will make people feel better, they may not necessarily be satisfied however." "We are talking about two-well respected figures from within the government, so they have the capacity to run it." "They both have a military background -- and the military is the most respected institution in Egypt --- hopefully, however, further measures will be taken soon, to satisfy protesters and allow them to go home." "The army can do the job of securing private and public property, which are in real danger of looting and thugs at this very moment." "This is the beginning of a process of power transfer. I think that now there is a response of meeting people's demands. Order is the main concern around Egypt at the moment and you cannot provide for that without providing political concessions. As far as I can see, further decisions will be taken in this direction." HASSAN NAFAA, PROFESSOR OF POLITCS AT CAIRO UNIVERSITY "This is a step in the right direction, but I am afraid it is a late step. Its success depends on what this appointment means ... I believe it is in President's Mubarak interest to pass all his powers to Omar Suleiman." "Omar Suleiman is a part of that regime, but at the same time he is a symbol of the military institution, which the protesters rose above its tanks in a clear sign of confidence in that army. And therefore, a military character might be the saviour in that stage but on the condition that this character understands the demands of the public revolution ... I support this step on condition that President Mubarak immediately withdraws from power or says that for medical reasons he is handing power over to Omar Suleiman." "The street will not be convinced by Omar Suleiman at this moment unless Omar Suleiman addresses the people and says there will be a new system and that Mubarak has handed power over to him and that the military is in control of the situation and has a programme of a democratic transition, but I am afraid the President Mubarak might be the hurdle now." SHADI HAMID, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH, BROOKINGS DOHA Centre "Its definitely better than nothing, it suggests that the regime is taking things more seriously and realises the gravity of the situation. The same old promises of reforms, economic change are not going to work." "That said, I don't think that is going to be strong enough, at least as far as the protesters are concerned. They have made it clear that they want a complete break with the past." "Their problem is not the performance of this regime but the existence of this regime. So in other words, they don't want a better regime, they want a different one." "I don't really see this as really addressing the fundamental concerns and grievances that these protesters have made." "This is only likely to further embolden the protesters and amplify demand that Mubarak step down because that certainly seems the more likely possibility now. Usually, people look to appoint vice presidents in case they leave power or somehow are forced to leave power." POLITICAL RISK CONSULTANCY STRATFOR "Mubarak may be nominally dissolving the Cabinet, ordering an army curfew and now asking Shafiq to form the next government, but the embattled president is not the one in charge. Instead, the military appears to be managing Mubarak's exit, taking care not to engage in a confrontation with the demonstrators while the political details are being sorted out." JON ALTERMANM Centre FOR STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, WASHINGTON "The appointment of Omar Suleiman is intended to send a message that if Hosni Mubarak leaves, the regime remains in place. It is not intended to mollify . It is intended to show resolve."
