“Deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will be put on trial next month, the state news agency reported Wednesday. Morsi, who has been detained since the military forced him from office on July 3, will face charges of inciting the killing of opponents, an accusation that his supporters in the Muslim Brotherhood have called trumped-up. The trial is set to begin Nov. 4 in the Cairo Appeals Court, according to the official MENA news agency. In the months since the Islamist leader was ousted, his followers have taken to the streets en masse, demanding his reinstatement and clashing repeatedly with police and troops. In the deadliest confrontation, security forces in mid-August broke up protest camps set up by Morsi’s supporters, killing nearly 1,000 of them…………….”
Here is what is happening in Egypt:
- The Ancien Régime military is now back in power in Cairo.
- It has ordered the Ancien Régime‘s Kangaroo courts back in business, to put Mr. Morsi on trial.
- The old dictator that the “uprising” of 2011 allegedly overthrew is effectively out free, his felul forming the “interim” government.
- The only elected president is in prison awaiting trial. Okay he was incompetent and fundamentalist, but show me an Arab leader, any Arab leader, who is not incompetent. (Don’t show me any oil potentates, because they can always cover up the incompetence with money, for a while).
- The old dictator’s regime is fully back in power.
- The counterrevolution is complete, long live the counterrevolution.
- Meanwhile, the unelected tribal Arab leaders and potentates cheer the military takeover of Egypt even as they claim to want democracy and Wahhabi-style freedom for the Syrian people.
Cheers
