A
consequence of the upheaval taking place in that Middle Eastern republic since earlier this year:
An Egyptian court has ordered the dissolving of the country's former
ruling party and the confiscation of its assets, meeting a major demand
of the protest movement that ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
The
Supreme Administrative Court has announced the verdict on Saturday,
ordering the National Democratic Party to disband and hand over its
assets and offices to the state. Lawyers had raised a suit demanding its
dissolution, accusing the party of corruption.
The move was the
latest concession by Egypt's military rulers to demands of the protest
movement, coming days after the ousted Mubarak and his sons were put
under detention for investigation on allegations of corruption and
involvement in the killing of protesters.
Is this a short term solution? It seems like it although we do hope that other political parties and other future leaders of Egypt won't do whatever it was that Mubarak did to cause such a chain reaction of upheaval.
