Commander-in-chief

The article mentions that he is the "commander-in-chief." Would this not be the President of Egypt?Spyenson (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Egypt is outstanding in that there are 2 different posts: the higher one is "Supreme Commander" who is the President and the lower one is "Commander-in-Chief" who is usually the Minister of Defence, but not always, but this time it was. СЛУЖБА (talk) 04:54, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

President of Egypt

What is the source that he did become President of Egypt?

The BBC mentions that presidential powers were transfered to Omar Suleiman with consent of the army:

The army said in what it called "Communique No 2" that it "confirms the lifting of the state of emergency as soon as the current circumstances end".

It endorsed the transfer of President Mubarak's powers to his vice-president, General Omar Suleiman, and guaranteed a free and fair presidential election, constitutional changes and "protection of the nation".

The army also urged "the need to resume orderly work in the government installations and a return to normal life, preserve the interests and property of our great people".

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12428273

The Egyptian Constitution does not mention the chief of the army in the line of succession.

http://www.egypt.gov.eg/english/laws/constitution/chp_five/part_one.aspx

In Article 84 it is stated:

In case of the vacancy of the Presidential office or the permanent disability of the President of the Republic, the Speaker of the People’s Assembly shall temporarily assume the Presidency. In case the People’s Assembly is dissolved at such a time the President of the Supreme Constitutional Court shall take over the Presidency on condition that neither one shall nominate himself for the Presidency. The People’s Assembly shall then proclaim the vacancy of the office of President . The President of the Republic shall be chosen within a maximum period of sixty days form the date of the vacancy of the Presidential office.

So constitutionally the Speaker of the People’s Assembly Ahmad Fathi Sorour would take over presidential powers.

This is an encyclopedia so please only used properly sourced facts. 82.170.244.87 (talk) 17:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's been confirmed that the Speaker will not be assuming the position of President, as the entire government has been dissolved. The Supreme Council is in charge, and a note saying he is acting along with the council (which he is leader of) is perfectly fine.--Dorsal Axe 17:28, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how it is organized in Egypt but in a normal democracy the parliament is not part of the government. But I guess it is different in Egypt. 82.170.244.87 (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also in Egypt, the Speaker is not part of the government, but of the parliament. By the Egyptian constitution, he should now become "acting president", not Tantawi. --Roentgenium111 (talk) 19:46, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now the Constitution has been dissolved by Tantawi. СЛУЖБА (talk) 04:57, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

De facto head of state

Wouldn't it be better to use the wording "as leader of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, he is the de facto head of state of Egypt" until we have a reliable source for the use of the title "Acting President"? - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 19:19, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer that myself. I'm not entirely comfortable with calling him "Acting President". --Dorsal Axe 19:29, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nubian/Tantawi/Cairo

Sources say that ne is Nubian and was born in Cairo.

When and how did his family get the surname "Tantawi"?

"Tantawi" means "from Tanta".

Tanta is a city in the Nile Delta. СЛУЖБА (talk) 05:00, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Read the Official information on the Egyptian government website confirming his Nubian ancestry. The website link is shown. This is not up for debate, this is fact. Thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.249.237.236 (talk) 20:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Criticsm

The last paragraph referring to changes against Tantawi is factually incorrect. The chant referred to the beating and stripping of the 'Blue Bra Girl' (see this link: http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/2011/12/21/144098384/the-girl-in-the-blue-bra), the event occurred last December, while the assault against Natasha J. Smith which occurred this June according to her blog. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.54.38 (talk) 12:09, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
