As the gap between the expectations and the reality is widening after
the first 100 days of Morsi’s presidency,
the fact that says the revolutions don’t bring the magical solutions is
confirmed.
Morsi failed to meet the high expectations of the Egyptians; moreover
he failed to meet his own expectations about his performance, as he gave a lot
of promises and achieved a little.
There are many different reasons may reveal Morsi poor performance in
the 100-days plan as follow:
1-
Amid the bitter
race between Morsi and Shafiq, both rivals paid more attention to how to win
the race, and the deep desire to win the race was on the expense of the
credibility of the bombastic promises of both sides. That means Morsi gave some
promises to win, not to be fulfilled.
2-
Morsi and his
organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, as opposition group, stayed for decades
away from the executive apparatus of the Egyptian State, they did not know the
dimensions of the real problems of the Egyptian economy, that’s why they
underestimate the crisis that they may face, and the ways to deal with. Many of
Morsi promises lacked the realistic
sense, and failed to feel the core of the problems, and even failed to
determine the financial allocations for each promise, and either if he can
provides these allocations or not, especially in such economic crisis. For instance
Morsi promised to achieve progress in the traffic sector within 100 days,
although any fair study to any of the Egyptian main cities, and main roads will
reveal that the problem is more complicated than Morsi’s plan.
3-
Morsi was the
first president that was elected democratically in the history of Egypt, after
decades of dictatorship, Mubark for many Egyptians turned to be the main
obstacle in their way to have better life, Mubark disposal heightened the
expectations of many of Egyptians, those who got disappointed once they found
out Morsi doesn’t have the magical solutions for their everyday suffering, many of them turned after a while against
Morsi, many professions went in strikes that
affected the weak economy( including the strikes of Doctors, bus drivers, angry workers, and many other).
4-
Morsi faced one
of the most critical challenges in his first 100 days that was the soft State
that couldn’t enforce its law, the problem which was inherited from Mubark
regime and became even much worse under the revolutionary state. He didn’t
recognize many of his promises need a powerful State apparatus which doesn’t
exist practically, that’s why he spent the main part of his first 100 days in
restoring the vitality of the State system, and recognizing its mechanism.
Moreover he found himself face to face with the problem of the inefficient
corrupted bureaucracy which spread on large scale under Mubark regime. That
leads to the fact that says any serious reforms without reforming the
bureaucratic system in Egypt is in vain.
5-
The appearance of
the terrorism again in Sinai peninsula, which dragged the attention of Morsi
and his cabinet from the developmental plans, to the threats that may turn
Sinai to a territory out of Cairo control.
6-
No doubt Morsi
achieved different aims of great importance, like getting rid of the SCAF powerful military Generals , to the extent
that he accomplished the most crucial aim for the revolutionary forces when he
got rid of Field Marshal Hussien Tantawy smoothly in a legal coup, that was
implemented sooner than any
expectations. Moreover he laid out a vital foreign policy, which aimed at
restoring the Egyptian role in Africa, with vivid cooperation with the Arab
world, strengthening the relations with Turkey, improving links with EU,
maintaining good relations with US. In additional to a real improvement in the
personal security in the Egyptian cities. But despite of the fact all these policies
gained the expected popularity , but eventually the people need to feel some
more tangible change in their everyday life, which still out of reach so far.
