Indeed, while the army, the most powerful of the three actors, still officially controls the country, there is little confidence in the generals’ commitment to democracy. “The SCAF are either anti-democratic….or some of their advisers told them that democracy is not in their best interest,” says Hazem Abd al-Azim, a nominee in the first post-Mubarak government.
以解放广场为基地的活动不仅引发了社会和政治变革，最后还迫使埃及军方领导人支持民主。实际上，三个参与者中，军队最强大，还正式控制着这个国家，人们几乎不相信将军们会致力于民主。“最高军事委员会不反对民主……但是其中一些顾问告诉他们，民主并不是最符合他们利益的。”穆巴拉克政府倒台后首次选举的候选人哈齐姆•阿卜德•阿尔•阿齐姆说。
