1. The Egyptian revolution had a very wide range of targets and objectives to achieve. In other words, they lacked carefully thought stages or the empirical formula to go about them.

2. Except Neguib who was 50 years by 1952, other members of the Revolutionary Command Council (RCC) were relatively young, unknown and inexperienced.

3. The people of did not right away support the revolution in the immediate post 1952 period. There was chaos, dissension and indolence. Egypt

4. Similarly, the ex-Pashas and rich land owners whose level of income was cut down by the new government; began to play the role of a counter- revolutionary force against the new government in Egypt.

5. Threats from the Muslim Brotherhood was yet another type of difficulty the RCC had to deal with.

6. The relationship between the revolutionary military junta became fluid. Nasser conflicted with Neguib in 1954.

7. At the close of March 1954, RCC threatened to step down from power, and Nasser and Major Salah Salim refused to attend RCC meetings.

8. As noted earlier, the new regime attempted to tackle the insidious problem of corruption and bribery in Egypt by setting up a special court to try the old politicians who were suspected to be involved in it.

9. The RCC got involved in massive development schemes inside Egypt. This needed much money which Egypt did not have.

10. The education policy put in place by the revolutionary government caused big jump in the number of students going to government schools.

11. While the revolution was in course, Egypt suffered from the increasing population.

12. The western powers such as USA, Britain and France exercised deep hatred for Nasser because he was anti- western imperialism.

13. Hence, peaceful co-existence between Israel and Egypt was not practicable under Neguib and Nasser.

14. The 1967 second Arab-Israel war posed yet another big challenge to RCC. In this war, just like the Suez Canal war of 1956, Israel soldiers captured Egypt's land east of the Suez Canal zone.

15. This caused conflicts in the Egyptian army; thus leading to the weakening of the RCC.

16. The revolution was also challenged by the government in Iraq.

17. Furthermore, although Egypt could be said to be politically independent, yet -she still lived in constant fear. Colonialism was still a force to reckon with in Africa as well as in the Middle East.
