Feb 16, 2011 Egypt: Recovering Stolen Wealth
As Egypt turns from the gripping drama of the 18 days that brought
down the Mubarak regime, there are multiple issues on the agenda.
Among them not the least important is recovery of stolen wealth
from the assets of former President Hosni Mubarak and his
colleagues. That task will not be easy, requiring political will,
technical competence, and international cooperation among many
countries. But the chances are enhanced by recent international
efforts to increase transparency and government capacity to deal
with such issues.

the battle to monitor, the media battle, and the extent of
violence.

increasingly prominent in disseminating critique of the regime in
both English and Arabic.
