The Daily News in Egypt carries an article about a new law for NGOs, that is voluntary organisations and charities. You can see from the previous articles on this subject that the present article links to, that there was a lot of criticism of the proposals for such a law by the previous administration, under the President Morsi, who was given the bum's rush by the present regime. Underneath all the political shenanigans, of course, administration goes on, and this is a sign of it in an area of interest to social workers. However, it seems that human rights organisations are just as concerned now as in the past about what might be going to happen. Keeping civil society going is a crucial part of any social settlement and in the end if you don't allow people to participate genuinely in doing things to help others and raise issues of concern in their own society, you can't credibly claim to be governing in the interest of the people.Link to the current article: scroll down for the further links to previous material.
