Sadat nephew will not stand in upcoming Egypt election
Sadat said he had concerns for the safety of his campaign team at a time when elections were to be held with Egypt under a state of emergency.
Cairo - Muslimchronicle
Mohamed Anwar Sadat, a dissident and nephew of Egypt’s late president of the same name, said on Monday he will not run in this year’s presidential poll because the climate was not right for free elections.
“I don’t feel, and I am not assured, that the elections will be held in the form that we were hoping for... Therefore, we will not enter a losing battle,” the former legislator told reporters in Cairo.
Despite not yet having announced his own candidacy in the presidential race, incumbent Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is widely expected to stand and win in the first round, which is to be held March 26-28. Campaigning begins on February 24 and will last until March 23.
Sisi, Egypt’s former army chief, was elected in 2014, a year after leading the military to oust his predecessor Mohamed Morsi amid mass protests against the Muslim Brotherhood’s year-long rule.
Sadat said he had concerns for the safety of his campaign team at a time when elections were to be held with Egypt under a state of emergency.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
