It's complicated

The political situation in Egypt is – to say the least – a huge mess. With a population of roughly 90 million people there are about 90 million different political stances. What we used to call the silent majority is not necessarily very silent now and is not necessarily in agreement even if it remains the "majority". I've been trying to find an easy way to lay down the picture for you but I couldn't, so you might need to read this piece several times and my guess is, it still won't make any sense.
