July has been marked by several events that have made it a dark month for the Muslim Brotherhood and its branches in the Arab region, due to the events that have affected the group during this period. The most notable event is the July 3, 2013 statement that ousted their rule in Egypt.

• The “Hasm” movement of the Muslim Brotherhood aimed to overthrow the ruling regime in Egypt… How? 

On July 23, 1952, the Egyptian army led a revolution against the corrupt regime of the king, following the army’s defeat in the Palestine War, among other political, economic, and social reasons that prompted the army to support this revolution and change the regime, transforming Egypt from monarchy to republic, according to the Egyptian site “Al Fajr”. It was during this time that the Muslim Brotherhood‘s intentions emerged to take control of the country.

However, the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who was then Prime Minister, placed the Muslim Brotherhood on the list of terrorist organizations after the Manshiya incident in Alexandria in 1954, when the group attempted to assassinate Abdel Nasser. This marked the beginning of a war between the Muslim Brotherhood and Abdel Nasser, who succeeded in eliminating them.

Subsequently, the Muslim Brotherhood attempted to dismantle state institutions, exacerbating economic, social, cultural, and security crises.

In response, the Egyptian people took to the streets since June 30, and as a result, the Minister of Defense at the time, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, issued an ultimatum to resolve these crises, as well as an attempt at reconciliation between the conflicting parties to preserve the Egyptian people.

However, the Muslim Brotherhood rejected this initiative, leading the Minister of Defense to meet with political forces, as well as Al-Azhar and the Egyptian Church, to announce the July 3 statement, thereby ending the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
