Achieving transitional justice is normally accompanied with challenges and dilemmas. Hence, members or sympathizers of the old regime could be targeted in retaliatory actions such as arbitrary detention, freezing assets, ban on travel, etc.
In Egypt, two presidents were ousted in less than three years; Mubarak on 11th February 2011 and Morsi on 3rd July 2013. Therefore, it’s transitional justice for whom? For the remnants of Mubarak’s regime, those who have been accused of corruption for years? Or it is for the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters who actually see themselves as victims of a repressive regime that seized power a coup?
This paper seeks to answer the following questions:
What are the challenges to achieve transitional justice in Egypt?
Who defines revolution and social justice in Egypt?
What roles have the Egyptian media played in shaping public opinion towards social justice?
How can transitional justice solve the Egyptian dilemma?
