Egyptians are eager to move away from the Mubarak regime to a new system, but establishing due process during this transformation is critical. According to Muasher, “it is important not just for Egypt but as a precedent for the rest of the Arab world.”
Turning to Jordan, Muasher added that the recently proposed constitutional amendments represent a vital first step, but “are not the end of the road.” Elected governments are going to take some time to materialize in Jordan. In the meantime, Muasher concluded, the monarchy must engage in serious efforts to restore the credibility gap between itself and the people.
