In an interview with Nile TV in Cairo from Washington DC, Dr Walid Phares author of "The Lost Spring" said "the Presidential election in Egypt is a major step in moving the second wave of the Arab Spring forward.

In an interview with Nile TV in Cairo from Washington DC, Dr Walid Phares author of "The Lost Spring" said "the Presidential election in Egypt is a major step in moving the second wave of the Arab Spring forward. In fact it is a middle step between the revolution of June 30, 2013 which rejected the Muslim Brotherhood's regime and a future step which will be a legislative election and the political achievements of the newly elected President and Parliament."

Phares said "the first wave of the Arab Spring could have been successful had the US Administration not partnered immediately with the Islamists. But the silent majority of Egypt rose to end an Ikhwan regime which was transforming Egypt into a quasi Taliban state, and that non-violent uprising was the beginning of the second wave of the Arab Spring, which will have impact on the Arab World."

He added that "in Washington, the Brotherhood lobby is still trying to delegitimize the political process in Egypt, but with a referendum, a Presidential election and a forthcoming legislative election, all moving forward, the Petrodollars lobby will encounter one of its greatest political defeats since the 1990s." He concluded "Egypt's regular folks are defeating the Jihadists and the Brotherhood."
