Moursi’s Thursday’s
constitutional declaration has put himself above the separation of powers,
above jurisdiction and above the constitution (that does not even exist at
present). Online media call him now “pharaoh” since he virtually has declared
himself infallible – and this even retroactively!
When I got
to know this Thursday night, I couldn’t get off my eyes from internet, waited
for reactions. I asked myself, if the Egyptians would put up with this as
well. Yet the reaction came right away: the constitutional court declared
to defend its independence to the bitter end. Then I went to bed because Friday
early morning we cycled once again to El Quesir – that meant to stay without
news all day.
In a
breath, Moursi also dismissed the general prosecutor (he tried to do this
already a month ago) and swore in a new prosecutor. Probably to appease the
people, he decided to reopen the cases against Mubarak and the members of the
old regime as well as those responsible for the killing of protestors. By doing
so, he pretends to protect the revolution… The one that was stolen by the
Muslim Brothers?
The
Egyptians don’t put up with this, and yesterday, all hell broke loose. Protests
by the opposition have been announced anyway, yet Moursi’s doing added fuel to
the fire. The revolution continues and people finally fight back again. Many
have realised meanwhile that the Muslim Brothers are also liars and Moursi is
only another face for dictatorship. Since January 2011, nothing has improved
for the people.
I was
rather disappointed about Hillary Clinton’s praise for Moursi for his brokering
a truce between Hamas and Israel. This made him boisterous and self-confident.
The USA is supporting the bearded. For how long? As long as the MB accomplish
the balancing act between being Hamas’ friend and respecting the peace treaty
with Israel. This can’t go on for long.
By the way,
I wonder: where is the military? Many really believe the fairy tale that Moursi
has “disempowered” the military. How long will they accede in this play and when
will they show their true face again? If the MB were serious with enforcing the
revolution they would long ago have made accountable the real power holders and
profiteers!
Their (the
MB’s) greed will break their neck sooner or later. Hopefully sooner…
