Did the Muslim Brotherhood seek a return through national dialogue in Egypt?
In light of the great success achieved by the national dialog for all political forces and opponents, the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization is seeking to re-enter the country through the gate of the national dialog, in light of a major popular rejection of the existence of this terrorist group.
Categorical rejection
Dr. Diaa Rashwan, general co-ordinator of the Egyptian National Dialog, said the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization tried to join the national dialog but the Egyptian authorities categorically refused to participate.
Rashwan said that the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization tried by all means to participate in the dialog and attacked it violently before it began, adding that the organization was surprised that the opening scene of the dialog last May included all political movements, and that the civil movement participating in the dialog confirmed in its statement last July that not all those who practiced violence, led by the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization, would participate.
Isolation of the Muslim Brotherhood
Dr. Ibrahim Rabie, a leading Muslim Brotherhood defector who specializes in terrorist groups, says that there have been more than eight previous attempts since the Brotherhood terrorist organization was removed from power in Egypt in July 2013 to propose reconciliation with the Egyptian authorities, but it is being rejected by the Egyptian state and the Egyptians.
The “National Dialog” was born in Egypt more than a year ago in a state of crisis on several levels, he said, aiming to break the deadlock that has plagued Egyptian political life for nearly 10 years.
“Since the inception of the idea, the dialog was governed by a fundamental control, which is the exclusion of all those involved in acts of terrorism, destruction and blood,” he said. “This is an obvious exception, which directly refers to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization and all those who allied with it, especially with the public position of the organization and its fatwa organ in targeting the Egyptian state, symbols and institutions.
He stressed that opening communication channels with the ruling regimes is a permanent strategic goal, which has been at the forefront of the plans of the terrorist Brotherhood organization since its inception at the hands of Hassan el-Banna in 1928. Thus, there is no surprise about the organization’s endeavors to participate in dialog with the Egyptian state, or any regime, regardless of the rivalry between the organization and it. This general goal, which is ongoing with all of the organization’s plans, is not separate from the orientations of the sponsoring countries of the organization.
