Egypt Elections Expose Divisions in Muslim Brotherhood

Abdel Moneim Abou el-Fotouh is a popular leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and a candidate to become Egypt s first president since the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. But he is not running as a Brotherhood candidate; in fact, he is running despite its opposition and openly criticizing many of its decisions. And instead of demonstrating the group s growing power as Egypt s best-organized political movement, his candidacy is exposing its internal divisions, as the unifying sense of opposition to a secular dictatorship fades and various factions - including two breakaway political parties and much of the group s youth - move toward the political center.

The overthrown ruler and his sons were taken this week from the place where they were under house arrest in Sharm el-Sheikh to full detention. There are no happy revolutions. The violence merely changes sides.

Arrest of Hosni Mubarak a watershed moment for Egypt

For almost three decades he wielded unquestioned power, a seemingly invincible figure ruling with a sense of privilege and ruthlessness that epitomized autocrats across the Middle East. Even when mass protests improbably forced him from power in February, it appeared highly unlikely that Hosni Mubarak, long a key U.S. ally in a volatile region, would ever be held to account for allegations of corruption and abuse of office.
