Residents of al-Dweiqa

Residents of the shanty area of al-Dweiqa are pictured in Cairo, 6 October 2012. Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy has won grudging respect from detractors in his first 100 days by sending the army back to barracks faster than anyone expected and raising Egypt's international profile in several newsmaking visits abroad. Yet his political fortunes and those of the Muslim Brotherhood which propelled him to power may well depend on his delivering on more mundane issues such as easing traffic congestion and bread and fuel shortages by October 7 as promised.
