Tunisia’s Muslim Brotherhood’s incited violence against the army and police
The Muslim Brotherhood’s Ennahdha movement has increased its threats against the Tunisian regime, in conjunction with the revelation of their financial corruption and involvement in spying operations on behalf of foreign countries.
The arrested Brotherhood MPs took a new turn in their threats by issuing an outright incendiary speech against the police and army forces in Tunisia.
The incitement of the MP Yousri El Dali against the police and the army during a demonstration by Ennahdha revealed the violence that the Brotherhood is trying to spread in the country, which irritated Tunisians.
Incitement against Tunisian President loyalists
Speaking to Brotherhood protesters, El-Dali said, “All the forces carrying arms, including the police, guards, and army, and supporters of Tunisian President Kais Saied will be held accountable, describing them as supporters of the putsch.
The Brotherhood MP’s threat angered Tunisians, who considered it an incitement to target security forces and the army, calling on the Tunisian prosecution to intervene and investigate the incident.
El-Dali is a former security officer who was isolated for his association with the Brotherhood during the regime of former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Ghannouchi’s threats
The Brotherhood’s blackmail tactics in Tunisia are what the terrorist group usually resorts to whenever it is surrounded by popular anger against its aggressive practices and violations, through which it seeks to obtain power through illegitimate means and plunder the wealth of peoples.
In June, Ennahdha leader Rached Ghannouchi, made explicit threats against the state: “We cannot guarantee what will happen in Tunisia”.
He addressed Europe to intervene and prevent Kais Saied from freezing the parliament, adding: “500,000 Tunisians will flock to you in a short time”, in an attempt to blackmail major countries in support of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood against the Tunisian president’s decisions.
Parliament freeze extended
Tunisian President Kais Saied has extended the suspension of the parliament’s work from July 25 until a referendum on constitutional reforms is held next summer and legislative elections are held at the end of 2022.
Amidst a social and economic crisis and months of political stalemate in the country, the Tunisian president announced the use of Chapter 80 of the 2014 constitution which authorizes him to take exceptional measures in the event of an imminent danger to the country, and announced the dismissal of the prime minister and the freezing of the parliament’s work.
Political tension in the country coincides with a severe economic crisis and the authorities are in negotiations with the International Monetary Fund for a new financial support program.
