SCAF retains executive powers and courts a blogger amid Egypt's post‑revolution transition

SCAF retains executive powers and courts a blogger amid Egypt's post‑revolution transition The passage outlines the military council’s (SCAF) continued authority and a specific case of a blogger sentenced, offering a modest lead on the extent of military influence over Egypt’s political transition. However, it lacks concrete names, dates beyond general references, financial details, or novel allegations, limiting its investigative utility. Key insights: SCAF’s March 30 Constitutional Declaration grants it broad executive powers until a president is elected.; Article 60 mandates a 100‑member constituent assembly to be elected by parliament, raising questions about its composition.; A military court sentenced the first blogger since Mubarak’s fall for criticizing the military.
