Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood also failed to convince el-Sisi’s opponents
The Brotherhood not only failed to convince the Egyptian street to move against the regime and cause chaos, but also failed to convince the regime’s opponents to support them. Most opposition parties disavowed the calls for demonstrations, and considered those calls as chaos and “sedition”, and the rest of the parties did not participate in those calls.
At a time when the streets of Egypt have witnessed a noticeable calm, and the commercial movement, public transportation lines, and the metro system have become normal, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, one of the opposition parties, issued a statement disavowing the calls for chaos on November 11th…We refuse to let citizens pay their dues in the arrest campaigns.”
The party added, “We were born out of the January Revolution, which raised the slogans of freedom, dignity, and justice, and we lived its glorious days. We participated in all its major waves on January 25 and June 30, which resisted political tyranny and religious despotism.”
The Salafi al-Nour Party issued a statement denouncing the Brotherhood’s calls for demonstrations. In a statement, it said, “It strongly condemns the destructive calls aimed at the demonstrations of 11/11 under the pretext of revolution and opposition because of the bad economic situation that most countries in the world are now suffering from.”
Al-Nour stressed that a balance must be struck between interests and corruption in religion, souls, honor and money, and that strife brings nothing but evil, more corruption and more .
“The obvious truth is that many of those who are behind these lawsuits, in which they trade in people’s pain, are the same ones who sought to create crises that harm society and obstruct its march to revolt against the regime,” the party added.
“What was happening to them in the past, as well as in the present, is in fact the liquidation of a political rivalry, in which the nation and society itself are the victims; We cannot accept these calls, nor interact with them, if we know the danger of chaos in light of division and lurking, and the impossibility of peaceful protests; “We can only reject these calls to advise the nation, society and the state.”
The opposition Tagammu Party said that it is aware of the difficult transitional period the country is going through now, and confirms its keenness to support the 3 state institutions and authorities; legislative, judicial and executive.
In a statement, he pointed out that the democratic development in Egypt cannot take its natural course through external forces that are stigmatized by double standards, especially with regard to human rights, and does not come from exploiting a global event on Egyptian soil such as the Climate Conference, to deviate from its context to pressure the state on other issues.
The “6 April” movement, which was one of the forces calling for demonstrations on January 25, 2011, rejected calls to demonstrate and participate with the Muslim Brotherhood organization in any protest activities. The movement’s founder, political activist Ahmed Maher, confirmed on his Facebook page that “the 11/11 preachers are themselves the advocates of the 2019 random demonstrations, which caused many problems at the time.
On Thursday, Egypt’s Dar al-Iftaa described any speech that calls for disunity among the nation’s ranks amid current challenges as “sedition talk”.
