President Morsy addresses his fellow Egyptians

On the 1st Anniversary of his Presidency, President Mohamed Morsy is to address his people, amid consternation of his policies.  Primarily, he must appeal to the Egyptian military, who has made possible the Arab Spring advancement in that country.  But, unemployment, particularly among the youth under 30 years of age is of critical concern in every Egyptian's mind.

You know, China's major problem of unemployment has been a source of other problems, but it's actually the military who have kept unemployment under manageable control.  Its conscripts do farm work part of the year, so as to maintain the agricultural economy.  The young soldiers don't always like it, but they make their contribution to society in more ways than just in military uniform.  Maybe, the Egyptian military might help its civilian government in some ways, too.  In any case, without some millitary backing the fledgling democracy in Egypt will come upon harsh times.

I believe, too, the Muslim Brotherhood can appeal to other groups in Egypt--including the intellectuals and technical workers--to make democracy a successful experiment.  After all, the rank-and-file Egyptians were not brought into governance of that country under previous administrations, which spanned some thirty years!

So, the whole world, really, is waiting to hear from President Morsy as he extends his hand of fellowship to the Egyptian people.

7/5/13 Postscript:  What I heard of the speech of the deposed President Morsy did not seem to bear a message of unification and conciliation among the many political groups.  The Egyptians should feel proud of its military generals!  JLO
