US explanation of MB meeting ‘not understandable’: FM

CAIRO: The reasons for a meeting between former Freedom and Justice Party members and U.S. State Department officials are “not understandable,” said Foreign Minister Sameh Shokry in Addis Ababa Saturday.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Thursday in the daily briefing that a delegation of “former FJP members” organized by Georgetown University, adding it was “ routine at the State Department as they meet political party leaders from across the world,” and that the group did not discuss the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi.

Shokry told Egyptian media Saturday that any kind of communication with group affiliated in “terrorist attacks is not understandable, as they are not political party, and according o the Egyptian law that should be treated as a terrorist group.”

Shokry said that terrorism does not only include ISIS or Boko Haram, but also all “groups that aim to destroy and kill.”

The Muslim Brotherhood, as well as its political wing the Freedom and Justice Party, were dissolved in late 2013 by the Egyptian government; the ruling criminalized any association or membership with the group, and also authorized the government to seize its assets.

I would think that President Sisi saying something needed to be done about Islamic terrorists angered Obama and they were planning to overthrow him.

The WH have been after him since Morsi was kicked out by the Egyptian people and the Army. Obama wants all of the MidEast to be a jihadist Caliphate.

The thought that Obama may be trying to overthrow Al Sisi did cross my mind when I read the title.

Egypt made him look like a fool. I recall seeing pictures of people there holding signs that read, “Obama is a terrorist”.

I had my concerns about Al Sisi but he has proven himself to be a solid moderate middle eastern leader.

And to add insult to injury, Egypt just declared HAMAS a terrorist group.

The”Freedom and Justice Party” was anything but being about either freedom or justice, and in that, were a pretty good fit with “taqiyya” techniques, as the strict application of Islamic principles is totally antithetical to both freedom and justice.

The Current Regime is still not giving up on the Muslim Brotherhood, of which the Islamic State is just another franchise.
