My daughter's daycare teacher thinks that it is a mistake to push the military out.

My research assistant is very brilliant and hardworking. Her family is going to vote Muslim Brotherhood (Freedom and Justice Party) because they are organized, and they do a lot of charity.
An extremely educated and experienced political activist and journalist warned that she is very worried about the potential for violence during the election.
AUC has decided to shut down the entire university for the first round of elections on November 28th for security reasons.
