"If the situation necessitates another revolution, I will call for it," President Mohamed Morsy declared in a meeting Friday with the Egyptian community in the Cornothia Hotel during his first-ever, two-day visit to Khartoum.

Obtaining basic necessities food and clothes should not distract the Egyptian people from achieving higher and greater objectives, Morsy insisted. The president said he intended to develop the nation’s resources and achieve a fair distribution of wealth, and social justice across the social classes, adding that the people should avoid discord among themselves, as that only leads to wasting time and opportunities.

"We are capable of achieving a renaissance," he proclaimed. Corruption under the former regime sucked the blood of people, but "if we do not march forward, we go backward," he warned.

"We are walking on a ground of thorns and our feet are bleeding, but we will reach our [goal] and will not surrender; no one can control Egyptians or think that the 90 million could be deceived," Morsy asserted. There are desperate attempts to return some symbols of corruption to the front once again, he warned, expressing astonishment at those attempts. The president stressed it is impossible to allow those who spoiled the country to resume control of its destiny.

Morsy admitted that the country is suffering from economic problems, but "if our friends cooperated with us, we would overcome the crisis in six months; and if they did not, we would do in nine months," he claimed.

"God is the ever providing," the president alleged. "That was evident in Egypt's production of 9 million tons of wheat [after the revolution], although the same cultivated area used to produce 5 million tons before," he claimed.

Fine words but the people are waiting to see some actions.

Six to nine months economic recovery? What is he on? Whatever it is George Osborne could do with some........

The 90 million Egyptians are being deceived if they think that their god will provide.

But George Osborne is God he has just provided 5% tax cut to those in need in the UK

No one believes the Egyptian domestic wheat production figures.They are likely much lower.

Why would Morsi give this speech in serious Salafi Khartoum when the message is not to Sudanese but to his own people? The Sudanese have no money, are a pariah state (once harbored Osama bin Laden) so you wonder what the visit was about

Its irrelevant, but shows that you have to do political business with some nasties and that there are some nasty neighbors just south of Aswan, Bashir (President of Sudan) is a dictator of a full sharia state and a war criminal with at least one international warrant out on him. He needs to travel carefully to avoid service or extradition to The Hague so I guess Morsi had to go to the Sudan to see him. A bit like visiting a relative in jail.

I have trouble believing Sudan has the capacity to cause much difficulty to its Northern neighbour having just (almost) resolved problems in the South and (maybe) in the West. What would Egyptian Politicians gain from the effort?

We are beginning to see the stumbling block in Egypt, and so are the people.

The major problem Sudan can cause for Egypt is over water. If Sudan starts to build some dams this will not be good for Egypt. Water is gold for Egypt and reduced water in the long term would be a threat to its security.

I wonder if Morsi believes what he hears himself saying?

Who knows Lady?

The worrying thing is, quite often the answer to that question is yes!

Unfortunately Zooropa you're right much to the detriment of the country.
