The Horizon for Peaceful Transition towards Democracy in Egypt: The Forthcoming Presidential Election - Challenges and Opportunities
The Alliance of Egyptian Americans is a US based non-profit, non- governmental organization dedicated to empowering Egyptian Americans to promote true democracy, sustainable development, and social justice in Egypt. AEA is holding its 5th annual conference Friday-Monday, Sept 17-20, 2010 at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in the Nation's Capital.
The conference proceedings will focus on ways to open up the clogged political process and secure "free and fair" Presidential elections in Egypt. Participants will examine and identify ways to empower Egyptians to change Article 76 of the Egyptian Constitution; restore Egyptian voters' confidence in the forth-coming Egyptian Presidential election; examine the possibility of forming an independent election commission whereby all political parties are represented on equal footing in that Commission; and to insure "free and fair" election processes.
Several noted American and Egyptian public figures, intellectual and political leaders, and political activists are attending. The conference proceedings will be conducted mostly in interactive formats (town hall meetings, round tables and workshops). A press conference will be held Monday, September 20 at the National Press Club (see agenda).
