Greetings citizens of the world. This is OpEgypt's audio press release
number 1, regarding the latest developments in Egypt.
January 25 2011 was an uprising against injustice. However on February 11 2011 the military council
(unconstitutionally) took direct control, with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood & Co.
According to the constitution then, the head of the constitutional court was supposed to
be the interim president. That didn't happen, as the military council had a different plan.
After showing great failure in management, such direct control had to be camouflaged
with a civilian face, in June 2012. A farce elections under no constitution or parliament.
The military council & Muslim Brotherhood deal gradually fell apart in less than one
year under Muslim Brotherhood's even worse management. During that time, the military
council has warned the Muslim Brotherhood elites multiple times to correct their course,
in an attempt to preserve the highly needed civilian camouflage, until the last moment.
In July 2013 the military council had no choice but to break the deal with the Muslim Brotherhood,
just as they had no choice but to make it in the beginning (i.e., under nationwide popular
pressure). In July 2013, we're effectively back to February 2011, except that this time
the head of the constitutional court is now the interim president, as it was supposed
to be back then. We don't necessarily have to trust the military council in order to
support the new road map, as long as the revolution continues. Speaking about a military coup
in 2013 is as fallacious as speaking about democratic elections under no constitution
(in 2012). What happened in August 14th was an additional
episode of the series of tragedies of the Egyptian revolution that started in January
2011. Most of those who got killed in the Rabaa sit in wouldn't have stepped out of
their homes on that day, had they been told clearly that the camp included automatic weapons...
There's nothing new about police brutality... However, media denial of the earlier fact
has killed them. The victims knew about the weapons, but when it was too late. And the
media is still unable to stop lying.
Everyone has an agenda and is speaking through it. Everyone support the Muslim Brotherhood
(or Morsi) for a different reason. Some support him just to *** off their competing politicians
in their own country. Some shyly show their support, sending conflicting messages, just
to put pressure on the current military council, in an attempt to contain the new developments,
while avoiding direct confrontation. Others support him because of the historic deal he
brokered between Hamas and Israel in 2012, effectively destroying the concept of 'resistance',
making him a better asset than Mubarak. Some support him out of fear from paying for their
crimes. Some want him to stay so he could fulfill the promise to send warriors into
Syria. Etc... Regardless, all are not concerned about the revolution's goals.... Are they?
