“We have to
give him a chance“, Egyptians said after Moursi’s election as Egypt’s
President. They didn’t want to see what was about to come.
During five
months, Moursi didn’t do anything for Egypt. He travelled around the world,
begging for money, investments and trust. He said that a new area had started
in Egypt where democracy and justice prevailed and that soon the people would
be better off.
At the end
of November he, respectively the Muslim Brothers, stroke. By issuing the
constitutional declaration, Moursi empowered himself above law and
jurisdiction. Hence, he contradicted a pillar of democracy and rule of way:
separation of powers.
Since this
time, Egyptians take to the streets: first to protest against this
constitutional declaration, then against the Islamic constitution that was hastily
knocked together and finally, to demand the bringing down of the Muslim Brother
regime.
Meanwhile
it is clear for everybody: it is not Moursi who rules but the Muslim Brothers. They
govern with tricks, lies, specific disinformation, denunciation and ignoring
all constitutional achievements.
On 5th
December, Egypt saw brutal violence: Egyptians attacked their fellow countrymen
near the Presidential Palace. It was a battle between incited Salafists and
Muslim Brothers against opponents. Thanks to eye witness accounts and videos it
is known what really happened. Protestors from the opposition were dragged out
of the crowd and brought to the Presidential Palace; there they were brutally
beaten and tortured. Police watched and did not intervene because they had no
orders! The torturers received their orders by phone directly from Badie, the
MB boss, and went inside the Palace to receive further orders. Doctors close to
the MB refused medical aid (!!!), drivers of ambulances refused to transport
the heavily abused to the hospital for medical care. A dentist was filmed while
torturing; a suit is filed against him.
When asked
why they beat so fiercely, a thug answered, they were told that the protestors
were drugged, infidels and agents from abroad! Copts were attacked even worse.
There is a video on Youtube showing such a group of thugs while doing their “training”
in Cairo; their scaring figures reminded me of photos of the Mutshaheddin in
Afghanistan.
The heavily
wounded and bleeding protestors were captivated beside the Presidential Palace
and handed over to the Police hours later; they had been armed. The prosecutor released
all of them because there were no evidences. Yesterday or this morning, the
newly appointed (MB) general prosecutor offset the prosecutor to Beni Suef and
appointed a MB prosecutor; tonight, this decision was retrieved.
President
Moursi didn’t show his face during 48 hours after these violent clashes. However,
the MB leaders spoke. They said they had nothing to do with what happened but “confessions”
of the captured were proof that they had to be detained and treated that way.
They (the MB) also said that they would defend their President and their
constitution – as if they were the government!
Ironically,
it is thanks to an ex-ambassador that the West (especially the USA) gradually
gets to learn about the violent actions; he as well was mangled and tortured;
he was released only when his ID revealed that he was a diplomat.
Well-known
oppositions, liberals, journalists, politicians and activist figure on a death
list.
After
tomorrow, a referendum about this controversial draft constitution will be
held. Ballot boxes with Yes-votes have already appeared. Many Egyptians are
excluded from the voting process because they cannot go to their home-governments.
In addition, Moursi enacted another law
to limit the right to vote. The majority of the judges boycott to oversee the referendum
– now military has to.
Today, a
Copt was sentenced to three years of prison because of blasphemy. His “crime”:
he uploaded the primitive video that mocks Prophet Mohammed on his facebook page!
This is
Egypt after an uproar that demanded „bread, freedom and justice“ and that
toppled its dictator: there is no separation of power, the police takes orders
from the Muslim Brothers and the referendum on the constitution is made up to
result in a Yes vote.
These are all
signs of fascism. Europe is over it. Why do Europe and the USA support the MB
by sending Billions of US Dollars and Euros? The daily news and reports, law
changes and twists as well as the revelations by activists recall an inner film
that I allocated to the past. Yet history indeed seems to repeat itself:
fascism, National Socialism.
A friend
told me that Egypt has to go through this. The activists will continue their
task knowing that the referendum will result in a Yes. Today and tomorrow,
information gatherings are being held all over the country where plain people
explain to plain people why they should vote No. The activists don’t give up
and continue spreading knowledge about justice and injustice, democracy and
human rights like a snowball.
Tonight, I
asked my taxi driver how business was. He replied that it went not bad as far
as tourism was concerned. But referring to Egypt, it was very bad. He said, he
was not afraid; this constitution was bad and they needed a new one, religion
had nothing to do with it! They wanted to live and eat and he first was a human
and not a Muslim. I was surprised about his statement because normally, taxi
drivers belong to the less educated. I asked if he was a Muslim Brother and he
replied, no, no! His religion was Allah and the one in his heart, but it had to
stay out of politics. The snowball rolls…
