The old proverb Misr umm al-dunya , “Egypt is the mother of the world”, may be hyperbole, but even non-Egyptians recognize that as the largest and most populous Arab country, the source of many of the Arab world’s doctors and engineers, Egypt is an indispensable state. Though not the pan-Arab leader it was in the Nasser era, it still dominates the Arab film industry and many other realms. The September 6 attack on Husni Mubarak in Port Said has provoked some of the same kind of talk as the more serious attempt on his life in Addis Ababa in 1995 sparked: worry about the fact that Mubarak has no designated or even visibly favored successor. Egyptians, especially Egyptian officials, often dismiss such concerns by noting that Egypt has a constitutional procedure for choosing a new President. But even Egyptians sometimes worry when reminded of the danger; after the 1995 attempt, veteran commentator Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, in the pro-government Rose al-Yousef , warned that uncertainty about succession could “lead to the state falling apart” and that those who assumed the Army would provide the solution should note that “the Army is forbidden territory which we do not speak about or know what is in it”. theestimate.com
