Essam El Erian, Spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt
Stephen Sackur talks to Essam El Erian, Spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. With elections there promised in September, will the military junta allow wholesale reform?
Will the popular protests convulsing the Arab world really deliver political freedom?
In many ways Egypt is the litmus test. Egypt's post Mubarak military junta is promising elections in September but many pro-democracy activists doubt the army's commitment to wholesale reform.
Essam El Erian is a leading figure in the Mulsim Brotherherhood. They didn't lead the Tahrir revolution, but they could be the big winners in Egypt's new politics. Stephen Sackur asks him what this would mean for the Middle East.
