Mursi will Beziehungen zu Iran stärken
Wie wird sich Ägypten unter dem ersten
islamistischen Präsidenten entwickeln? In seiner Antrittsrede
versucht Mohammed Mursi, Ängste zu zerstreuen - und schlägt sowohl
nach innen wie nach außen beschwichtigende Töne an. Doch eine
Aussage zu Iran zeigt, dass sich mit einem Muslimbruder an der
Spitze des Staates durchaus etwas ändern dürfte.
Eine Mehrheit der Ägypter
hat Mohammed
Mursi zum Präsidenten Ägyptens gewählt - wohl auch, weil viele
in ihm den Mann sehen, der das Land endgültig vom alten System des
gestürzten Machthabers Hosni Mubarak befreien kann. Allerdings
herrschen durchaus auch Befürchtungen, der Muslimbruder wolle das
Land zu einem islamistischen Staat machen. Auch außenpolitisch
schafft der Wechsel in Ägypten neue Unsicherheiten.

Mohamed Morsi vows to be 'leader for all Egyptians'
The Muslim
Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi proclaimed himself a leader "for
all Egyptians", after being declared
the winner of Egypt's first free presidential election on Sunday.
Speaking on Egyptian television late on Sunday
evening, Morsi vowed to "protect the rights of women and
children", as well as Christians and Muslims alike.
"I tell everybody in this memorable day that
because of your choice, your will and after God's favour, I am a
president for all Egyptians," the 60-year-old engineer and
professor said in his speech.
Morsi sought to reach out to the activists by paying
tribute to the nearly 900 protesters killed in the uprising. "I
wouldn't have been here between your hands as the first elected
president without ... the blood, the tears and sacrifices of the
martyrs," he said.

Nevertheless,
we would add an Israelian point of view with Haaretz :
Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi declared official winner of Egypt elections
Egyptians celebrate victory of Islamist leader in country's first ever democratic elections.
Islamist Mohammed
Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood was elected president of Egypt
with 51.7 percent of last weekend's run-off vote, defeating former
general Ahmed Shafiq, the state election committee said on Sunday.
He succeeds Hosni Mubarak, who was overthrown 16
months ago after a popular uprising. The military council which has
ruled the biggest Arab nation since then has this month curbed the
powers of the presidency, meaning the head of state will have to work
closely with the army on a planned democratic constitution.
Voter turnout at the runoff election was 51.85
percent, the chief of chief of Egypt's election commission said.
Thousands of Brotherhood supporters burst into
cheers on Cairo's Tahrir Square, waving national flags and chanting
"Allahu Akbar!" or God is Great, greeting a dramatic
victory.
