And who would have to present said charges?
Since the officers revolution, Egypt has never had a peaceful AND democratic transition of power, by which I mean a president’s term runs out (yeah right) or he is elected out of office and the new president is worn in right afterwards.
Just look at our history
Naguib (resigned/forced out by Nasser) —> Nasser (died in office) —> Sadat (assassinated) —> Mubarak (resigned/forced out by protests) —> Morsi (forced out by military)
What I’m trying to say is not a single guy left office because he lost an election or was term-limited. They had to be forced out or died.
Thus, there has never been a democratic transition from one president to the next. I think that this transition is a key sign of a healthy democracy. That is something our country has never fully had since the founding of it as a Republic.
So after last weeks failed insurrection I've been thinking...the forces at play last week seem to be Zuma loyalists/RET faction aka ANC factionalism. One could analyze these events as a consequence of the transition from the pro Zuma faction to Cyril and has had me wondering what the situation may look like if the ANC were to finally lose an election.
Ok so for some time it's probably unlikely they'll be out of office but when such a day comes I can't help but wonder what the reaction of a few loyalists will be to such a change.Now my curiosity stems from observing recent events and events in our history as well as from abroad-namely the US.
As I've stated before the recent events could be seen as a transition from "Zuma-ism" with the jailing of Zuma if you will to the current administration...looking back to the transition to democracy,that itself was hardly devoid of violence and looking at the transition from from Trumpism to Biden accompanied by the January 6th insurrection one can notice a trend.
Therefore in light of such occurrences I'd just like to know what you think the transition would be like?...largely peaceful and democratic? or expect civil unrest or worse?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 95%. (I'm a bot)

What is Peaceful Transition of Power? The peaceful transfer of power is a focal principle of American majority rule government. It has for some time been a state of pride for this country that even in the midst of profound political difficulty the sitting president acknowledges the appointment of another pioneer, and, assuming abashedly, ventures down without fight.
The pivotal role of peaceful transfer plays is major it demonstrate ethical awareness and place the nation’s interests above one leader.
