Meanwhile, #Egypt's ruling class thinks that its #constitution is nearly perfect, that everyone looks to #egypt for inspiration
-
It says that it is carrying a complete "diagnostic" of the courts, how judges operate, how they are trained, 2 c what reforms r necessary
-
1 of #Tunisia's committees that is drafting its new #constitution is looking in2 whether the #judiciary is genuinely independent
-
@Tunisia's constitutional process is proceeding slowly but surely. t.co/xGZwNQyb
-
#Egypt's institutions need to be revitalised and the #constitutional process is an opportunity to do that. looks like it won't happen.
-
The poverty around them is apparently not enough for them to realise that things are not on the right track. #egypt #constitution
-
Problem is that #Egypt's elite is generally opposed to a real revolution and doesn't see the need to reform the #constitution
-
#Constitutional law in #Arab region is in a terrible state, because scholars were forced to argue that their #constitutions were adequate
-
That isn't true of course. #Egypt's scholars used to be in demand in #arab countries in 50s and 60s, but that is largely over
-
Spokesman for #Egypt's FM says #Egypt has enough know-how 2 write its own #constitution, that its experts are in high demand internationally
-
#Egypt's foreign minister rejects assistance from the @unitednations in drafting its #constitution t.co/rddniJIL

@LubnaNaji @reidarvisser rather i would say that u r part of the (mostly) silent majority.
-
@LubnaNaji @reidarvisser there r plenty of pple out there who have v reasonable things to say (like u 4 ex) but their voices r not heard
-
@LubnaNaji @reidarvisser many articles that focus on opposition to gmt focus on sectarian statements, in order to discredit the opposition
-
@LubnaNaji @reidarvisser yes agreed, that's clearly offensive and racist. but note that most sunnis do not speak in such terms. #iraq
-
@LubnaNaji @reidarvisser hidden agendas r important. but more imp is the people's every day suffering. we have the right 2complain!
-
@AliKadhmawi @reidarvisser @MahirZeynalov isn't he? he was last time i checked... if not, then what party is he in? #iraq
-
@BAmedi @reidarvisser i'm not sure that that's right. c what has happened in Dyala. Move 2establish federal regions may just lead 2violence
-
RT @RawyaRageh: #Egypt's Pres Elex Comission decided presidential elex date will NOT be announced until overseas vote issues are sorted
-
@janearraf any idea what time?
-
@BAmedi @reidarvisser in current circumstances, federalism may not bring the results that u r hoping 4. #iraq #constitution
-
@Mr_Robinson95 @reidarvisser i tend to agree. the same probably applies in many other provinces. prob is absence of reliable data. #iraq
-
Officials r saying that #Egypt's #constitution will b drafted in parallel 2presidential elections.nothing official yet. t.co/SpfcUZv8
-
Damascus is now firmly in the eye of the storm. Protesters killed during funeral, pple making plans to escape fighting... #Syria
-
@BsiLiAdeL Entierement d'accord. 6 mois, 1 an, 2 ans... l'important c de reformer l'etat a des fins revolutionaires, comme le veut le pple

-
@reidarvisser however, we don't have any data that shows 2what extent public opinion in these areas changed since 2010. #iraq #constitution
-
@reidarvisser Many sunnis r opposed to federalism on principle. Their connection to #Baghdad is very important to them. #Iraq #constitution
-
@reidarvisser is it possible that the government has anything to do with this? could it be sponsoring anti-federal activities in anbar?
-
@reidarvisser true, but that may be what they are striving for, i.e. constitutional revision.
-
#Daawa has been saying that discussion should be limited 2 #constitution, which doesn't explicitly provide for term limits for the PM. #Iraq
-
Iraqiya says trying 2 include term limits for PM in results of national conference. t.co/V4OVyM35 #iraq #constitution

@mabmbarek for ex, section on human rights should b more difficult 2 amend than technical aspects such as administrative reporting lines
-
@mabmbarek Agreed but pls consider using different amendment mechanisms for diff sections in the #constitution. #tunisia
