1. The leader of Egypt is Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak. He is the current president of Egypt. I will be playing the role as him in this debate.

2. Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak is the president for Egypt. He is the leader of 80 million people. There economy depends on agriculture and tourism mainly. This is almost the only way that there economy runs. If there is a drought they will go into bad times. The president is making steps and trying to make sure that the economy is being good. There also is a lot of mineral and natural resources. Some of the agriculture that they produce and they export is corn, wheat, rice potatoes, and oranges.

3. His background mainly focused on military beackground. He started off in the Air Force Academy and eventually working his way through the ranks became the commander of the Air force and Egyption Deputy Minister. This occured in 1972. He then became Vice president in April of 1975. Then he became president after the assassination of President Sadat in October 1981.

4. Libya is a supporter for my cause because they cooperate very well since 1989. Since this time they have improved a lot since then as well. They both are joining their oil and natural gas industries. They are working together so that both of their countries can have really strong economies. Since they are neighbors they need to cooperate to defend their oil and natural gas supply. Another country that supports Muhammad's is Morocco. They have a really good relation because they trade a lot and buy and sell goods. They can do this because Euro-Mediterranean free trade are as. They both are also mostly Arab countries so the people of the country get along easily. The next country is Sudan is that they are the closest allies. They also have various cultural ties and political aspirations. They have been united since the 19th century under the Muhammad Ali dynasty.

5. a. The Safety and Rule of Law is god because there is a separation of powers in the country and their is a good judicial system. It takes forever though to get into the court system though because there are so many people going in for trial. They have a bad crime rate, so they have a lot of court cases. More than 2 million people came into my country from the Sudan civil war. The safety of all of those refugees is overwhelming the court system.

b. The Participation and Human Rights are really bad in Egypt because Women are treated really bad and have no say in government. Also only 10% of the population in Egypt has any say in government. They are only the really rich as well can vote. There also has not been an open election in at least 20 years. Also there are only half as many rights for the citizens in Egypt as any other country has. Also egypt has the freedom of speech right so anyone can be any religion in the country.

c. The sustainable economic opportunity is not as good as it could be because half of the population doesn't have a job. The people that do have a job are doing really well and making lots of money. The people that don't have jobs are doing really well and are making only 1% of what the other people are making economically. All the other parts of the economy are doing really well just not the part of how people are making jobs. Homosexuals are not illegal in Egypt but a few times in the past few decades it has almost become illegal to be in the country.

d. Human development is doing really well in Egypt because a lot of people are staying in school and going of into college and getting a good job. The schools in Egypt are really good because a lot of the schools are maintained by the government. Then after primary schools about 30% of the kids go to college or universities then only half of those kids graduate. The overall education system is very well funded by the government and 99% of kids go to school. However, how many kids graduate universities could improve because only 15% of kids do that. They have the best education system in the North Africa and the Middle east.
