The targeting of the website "Mada Masr" on the background of the publication of news about the exclusion of Mahmoud al-Sisi from the General Intelligence, which began to arrest one of his journalists, and then stormed his headquarters and the detention of a number of other employees before the release of all of them, to reveal a "strict and decisive" methodology in dealing with Who addresses the news of the son of the Egyptian President.

This targeting is part of a series of episodes that may not be finished yet for the harsh and rapid targeting of anyone who addressed the news about Mahmoud al-Sisi, the eldest son of the Egyptian president, which makes him - according to observers - a "red line" of the Egyptian regime does not tolerate those approaching him.

Despite the disclosure of the site "Mada Egypt" on the decision of Sisi to remove his eldest son from the political scene by assigning him a long mission to the Egyptian mission in Russia, which was later reinforced by foreign media sources, the repercussions reveal that it did not reduce the risk of dealing with the news of Mahmoud Sisi .

The rigorous and often confused methodology of dealing has emerged recently in more than one case, since the rapid escalation was unveiled, jumping from the rank of major to the rank of brigadier general (three ranks within 4 years), to be promoted to the post of chief technical officer Intelligence then the machine agent.

Other episodes

During the battle of the contractor and opposition actor Mohamed Ali with Sisi, the campaign against the former escalated markedly, after talking about Sisi went beyond mentioning his son, who said in one of his provinces that "who is running the country now."

Since then, the campaign against Mohamed Ali has intensified, with reports filed against him by the Attorney General, accusing him of complicity in the assassination attempt on Sisi.Meanwhile, the media reported growing threats against his family, prompting Ali to confirm that the battle was with Sisi's son alone.

In conjunction with Mohamed Ali's speech, Sinai activist Massad Abu Fagr accused Mahmoud al-Sisi, a member of the committee to amend the constitution, of running the trade in smuggling goods into the Gaza Strip, and reaping its revenues in particular with a number of army leaders, which called for widespread threats and a campaign against him to the Attorney General.

In turn, Abu Fagr spoke of threats to him afterwards, stressing that he is continuing his campaign to uncover what is available to him from the facts absent from the Egyptian public, and that he will not yield to those threats.

As soon as he published photos he said were the real pictures of Mahmoud al-Sisi, Egyptian security forces raided the homes of the family of the journalist and human rights activist Haitham Abu Khalil, arrested his elder brother Amr Abu Khalil, a psychiatrist consultant from his clinic, and confiscated his personal belongings.

The rights activist considered that what happened with his family comes in the context of "unjustified retaliation against the son of Sisi after the publication of his image and those of the ruling family of Egypt."

US-based activist Wael Ghoneim accused Mahmoud al-Sisi of being behind the arrest of his brother Hazem Ghoneim and of raiding and investigating his parents' house after talking about Sisi's son sending him to him through an Egyptian officer working at the Cairo embassy in Washington asking him to cooperate with him.

Do not approach

In this context, the Executive Director of the Network of Middle East Editors Abu Bakr Khallaf that the Egyptian regime deals with Mahmoud al-Sisi in particular, and the rest of the family of the Egyptian president as a red line does not allow them to be taken in a negative context in any way.

He cited a controversy in his talk to Al Jazeera Net media momentum directed in promoting the roles of the sons of Sisi in the institutions in which they work and "fabricated and exaggerated praise for them," without publishing any pictures of them in the context of ensuring that their images remain vague to the public.

He pointed out that Mahmoud El-Sisi in his attempt to dismiss him worked to host the media Amr Adib, one of the characters that bore his name, but that attempt failed and reinforced the negative image of the Egyptian street, which called him "violence and escalation higher" in his dealings with those They mentioned it.

He criticized the dispute between the Journalists Syndicate, the General Authority for Press and the Supreme Council for Media Regulation over its handling of this matter, and the silence of these institutions in front of what journalists and journalists are exposed to dealing with news about the son of Sisi.

Crown

For his part, the former deputy of the Human Rights Committee in the Shura Council, Izz al-Din al-Koumi, said that the regime suffered a severe "state of rabies" after the image of the "crown prince" they were preparing for post-Sisi was shaken.

Al-Koumi said in his interview with Al-Jazeera Net that it is natural to escalate this crude form with all those who dealt with information they were keen to hide against the son of Sisi, saying that the form of this escalation reflects the case of "sharp confusion" and the impact of this abuse.

For his part, the head of the Egyptian Center for Media and Public Opinion Studies Mustafa Khodari said that the regime's treatment of Sisi's son as a red line comes within the framework of the efforts of Sisi and his close circle to prepare the political scene to inherit the rule of Egypt as a defense line that protects Sisi and his family from the danger of trials.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera Net, Khodari pointed out that Sisi is accelerating his son's escalation and overthrowing him for dozens of intelligence chiefs, creating a state of conflict that was present in these cases, which revealed the relationship of Mahmoud El-Sisi to drug dealers, killing soldiers in Sinai and exploiting his father's influence.
