How does the Muslim Brotherhood seek to target national projects?


The Muslim Brotherhood is waging a systematic campaign aimed at undermining major national projects by leveraging its media platforms abroad to spread falsehoods and distort facts. Experts describe this approach as a “farewell dance” by an organization that has lost its political compass and is now betting on eroding trust between citizens and state institutions.

Hisham Al-Naggar, a researcher specializing in extremist movements, argues that the group’s reliance on rumors reflects a state of organizational bankruptcy, as ongoing national projects constitute a concrete refutation of the chaos-driven narrative embraced by the Brotherhood.

Al-Naggar explains that the organization recycles old incitement templates based on intimidation and misinformation, without logical grounding or evidence, seeking to stir public emotions whenever tangible success is achieved on the ground.

For his part, expert Ibrahim Rabie shed light on the operational mechanisms of the Brotherhood’s plan, stressing that the group runs a vast network of digital platforms and cross-border channels whose primary task is to fabricate information about the feasibility of infrastructure and energy projects.

Rabie notes that the Brotherhood’s discourse focuses heavily on young people and low-income groups, exploiting global economic crises to push false narratives alleging the waste of public funds, while deliberately ignoring the real employment opportunities and developmental returns these projects provide as a bulwark for the national economy.

Experts agree that the Brotherhood’s bet on the “collapse of the state through rumors” has failed in the face of rising collective awareness. The state’s success in delivering complex projects in housing, transport, and energy has stripped the group of what little credibility it had left, turning its rhetoric into mere “media noise” that finds no real resonance among the public.

In conclusion, Egypt is today engaged in a battle of awareness no less fierce than its development efforts. Specialists emphasize the need to sustain intellectual and media confrontation and to debunk falsehoods through facts and figures, considering that exposing the emptiness of the Brotherhood’s discourse is the essential guarantee for continuing the development process, free from attempts at obstruction or distortion.
