STATEMENT OF
THE EGYPTIAN ARMED FORCES
Monday 1st July 2013 at 19;57 ......
________________________
In light of what has been allegedly repeated by some people in mass media, seeking to interpret the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces as “a military coup”, the military establishment would like to highlight the following:
- The doctrine and culture of the Armed Forces do not allow the adoption of any “military-coup-based” policies.... The Egyptian military took to the streets in several events in 1977, 1986, and 2011, and there was no coup.... In stead, the Egyptian military always stands by the will and aspirations of the glorious Egyptian people for change and reform.
- The aim of the Armed Forces’ statement is to push all political parties nationwide to quickly find solutions for the current crisis and reach a formula of national compromise that complies with the demands of the Egyptian people.
- In addition, we stress that the statement of the General Command of the Armed Forces comes out as an interaction with the pulse of the Egyptian street.... The statement points out clearly that the Armed Forces will never be a party in politics or ruling, and will not accept any role beyond that drawn up in the genuine democratic ideology driven from the will of the people.
Mornin’ all,
Here’s what I learned about events and news in Egypt:
The “grand” gathering of the MB in the Rabaa el Adawiya location was/is a fake! Many of the demonstrators were brought by busses from villages around Cairo. They’re mostly teenagers who got paid by the abundant Qatari money that poured to steal the previous election and in support of Morsi and his MB government.
Apparently, the deal was to demonstrate against the anti-Morsi faction and prevent them from having the Egyptian and world stage alone by showing the “large” force supporting Morsi. However, events turned in the opposite direction and took Morsi down.
Motorists who are driving around the Rabaa area reported many of the MB-acquired demonstrators are banging on windows and trying to stop the cars. The youth were pleading with the motorists for help to get them out Rabaa. The kids complained that they have no idea where they are, don’t have maps and don’t even know why THE ARE FORCED TO STAY IN RABAA!
The teenagers and young adults said that every time some of them tried to leave the site they were met by armed MB thugs who beat them up and drove them back to the site of the MB demonstration.
To be continued....
