Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, Military Council Exchange Accusations

Local Editor

Conflict between Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and the Military Council erupted as both sides exchanged accusations on the administrative policies in the country. This comes as the civil political parties withdrew from the constituent assembly to draw up the new constitution, accusing the Islamic movement and it’s Salafist Ally Al-Nour of monopolizing its formation.

The military council did not take a neutral stance and rather warned of a new revolution because of the Islamist movement’s "domination" over putting the constitution, and assured that the armed forces will be part of any problem that could erupt in this field.

The council’s stance came in response to a strongly-worded statement by the Islamic movement, in which it attacked the military council and warned it against its constant support to the government.

The statement further considered that Kamal Al-Janzouri’s government failed in dealing with various issues including permitting Western individuals, involved in financing cases, to leave the country, dispersing the special funds estimated tens of billions of pounds, and slackening in recovering the stolen and smuggled money.

The military council responded in a similar tone, expressing its resentment from the Islamic movement’s distrust in the army and in the independence of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

It considered that such claims aim at offending the Egyptian judiciary and serving some parties’ interests.
