The Current Egyptian Rule Is Like A Spider-Web, Doomed To Collapse Soon
Interviewer: "Are you considering running for president?"
Abdul Rahman Yousuf: "I will do so when they free Morsi... The only position in which one can effect
change is the position of defense minister, and not that of president. According to the constitution that they
want to pass, the defense minister will be above accountability, whereas the president will face every type
of criticism, whether justified or not. I appreciate the question, but I don't think that I am suitable to run for
president."
Interviewer: "You said that the present defense minister is more powerful than the president "
Abdul Rahman Yousuf: "That's right."
