The muslim brotherhood are our friends

According to Misr Elgdida newspaper, it reported that during Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi’s recent visit to Pakistan, that Morsi secretly met with Ayman Zawahiri, the leader of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, and promised to smuggle him back to Egypt.

The paper used a Pakistani source Bloch Pakistan Newspaper which stated that since Zawahiri had to travel to remain in hiding between Pakistan and Afghanistan, that an agreement was reached with high level officials in the Pakistani Intelligence (ISI) to minimize the burden of security needs between the two nations, that Pakistan was glad to allow Zawahiri to leave to Egypt.

The Pakistani source which Elgdida quoted adds that:

“the meeting lasted 45 minutes, during which Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi promised to make preparations for Ayman Zawahiri to return soon to Egypt, indicating that some Muslim Brotherhood members would handle the operation, by first smuggling the al-Qaeda leader to a Gulf nation, likely Qatar, and then easily transferring him to Egypt—on condition that Zawahiri disappear lest he embarrass Egypt’s ruling Muslim Brotherhood with its American ally, whose security and intelligence agencies consider Zawahiri most wanted.”

Egyptians not happy with Morsi...

Two million sign anti-Morsi petition
Wed, May 15, 2013 - A campaign calling for the ouster of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and for early presidential elections has gathered more than 2 million signatures, organizers have said.

The Tamarod (“Rebellion”) campaign seeks to withdran confidence from the Islamist leader because he has failed the revolution that brought him to power, they said.

Since its launch nearly two weeks ago in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, Tamarod’s petition has garnered more than 2 million signatures. “Because security has not returned, because the poor have no place, because I have no dignity in my own country ... we don’t want you anymore,” the text reads. “The campaign was launched because the president is no longer able to manage the country,” Tamarod spokesman Mahmud Badr said. “We have gathered over 2 million signatures to withdraw confidence from the president [since May 1], which shows that people have suffered a lot from the political crises and the economic situation.”

Tamarod has called for a mass protest outside the presidential palace on June 30, when Morsi marks one year in power.

Morsi’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, has dismissed the campaign. “The only recognized democratic mechanism is the ballot box. Everyone must respect the results of the ballot box, no matter what they are,” FJP spokesman Ahmed Rami said. Morsi came to power a year ago in Egypt’s landmark elections following the uprising that toppled former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power.

First dey wasn't happy with Mubarak, now dey ain't happy with Morsi...

Millions flood Egypt's streets to demand Mursi quit
30 June`13 - Millions of Egyptians flooded into the streets on the first anniversary of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi's inauguration on Sunday to demand that he resign in the biggest challenge so far to rule by his Muslim Brotherhood.

Waving national flags and chanting "Get out!", a crowd of nearly 500,000 massed in and around Cairo's central Tahrir Square in by far the largest demonstration since the 2011 uprising that overthrew Mursi's predecessor, Hosni Mubarak. "The people want the fall of the regime!" they shouted, echoing the Arab Spring rallying cry that brought down Mubarak - this time yelling it not against an ageing dictator but against the first elected leader in Egypt's 5,000-year recorded history. Huge protest rallies continued late into the night in a mostly festive atmosphere.

While the main protests were peaceful, five people were shot dead in clashes in the Nile valley towns of Assiut and Beni Suef and the oasis town of Fayoum. The Health Ministry said more than 200 were injured in clashes in several provincial towns. A military source said as many as 14 million people in this nation of 84 million took part in Sunday's demonstrations in sweltering heat. There was no independent way to verify that estimate, which seemed implausibly high, but the armed forces used helicopters to monitor the crowds.

Militants hurling petrol bombs and rocks and firing shotguns attacked the Brotherhood's national headquarters in a Cairo suburb, sending flames billowing from the main entrance. There was no sign of police protection or fire fighters. The liberal opposition National Salvation Front coalition declared victory in what it styled "Revolutionary Communique No. 1" saying the masses had "confirmed the downfall of the regime of Mohamed Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood".

Mursi's official spokesman, Omar Amer, said the president had admitted mistakes and was in the process of fixing them. He repeated Mursi's offer of dialogue but made clear he had no intention of resigning. Organizers called on the demonstrators to keep occupying central squares in every city until Mursi quits and to blockade the only functioning house of parliament. The Tahrir crowd roared approval when an army helicopter hovering overhead dropped Egyptian flags on the protesters. The military source said the move was intended to encourage patriotism and was not a gesture of political support.

"COUP ATTEMPT"?
