Useful Guide to Egyptian Political Parties

 As we finally enter the election cycle in Egypt, Issandr El Amrani at The Arabist has a great link to a guide prepared by one of his readers, Jacopo Carbonari, which he's haring. The guide, with a useful graphic of party orientation and background information on parties and leaders, can be seen in PDF here.

On the whole,it's superior to other attempts I've seen.
