However, the fact remains, that instead of the 2012 ‘revolution’ being the liberation of Egypt from a course heading towards fascism, the Egyptians have instead been ‘liberated’ fromliberation itself.Morsi made mistakes, made compromises with Secularists and the Army in pursuit of a gradualist approach similar to the successful AKP of Turkey, and was a weak leader in a heavily controlled Mubarak-era government – but he, like Ellende and Mosadeq, wanted true independence for Egypt, a ethical and moral foreign policy, and an end to the kind of tyranny that sees arbitrary arrests, torture, civilians killed and fear return to the streets.
