This article from Watani is an interview with Ahmed Kamal Abul-Magd concerning his recent dismissal from the National Council for Human Rights, and his general views on the status of human rights work in Egypt. Among the issues discussed were the escalating sectarian strife, human rights conditions in Egypt, and the role of NGOs in promoting political reform. Dr Abul-Magd said that, given the unmistakable trends overtaking the global community at this time, he wished the President would take up the initiative of changing the stagnant nature of human rights, and lead a “white revolution” in Egypt.
