Abdel Rahman Mohamed-Cairo
The presence of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in the slogans and banners of recent demonstrations witnessed in a number of Arab countries is remarkable, and the specificity of Sisi alone alone other Arab kings and presidents.
As a result of the cheers of the participants in the revolutions and mobility of a number of Arab countries, including Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Syria and finally Lebanon, in addition to demonstrations and mass events in other countries such as Morocco and Jordan, Sisi emerged as a common enemy of participants in these events, and received some of their anger along with their systems They went out against her.
This presence was attributed by observers to some of the reasons for the provocations of the pro-Sisi Egyptian media in dealing with the movement of the Arab peoples, while others considered that the chanting against Sisi does not reflect the general public, but rather tangible slogans by supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the most prominent opponent of the Egyptian regime.
The pro-regime Egyptian journalist Amr Adib denounced the Tunisians' chants against Sisi during their celebration of the victory of Qais Said as president of their country, and asked, "I want to understand the logic in this matter, this night of victory, and you have aspirations and challenges, chanting against the Egyptian president?"
Broadcaster Ahmed Moussa also rallied, and considered these chants to be paid by the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, prompting a Tunisian activist to respond by saying: "I am not my brothers, I Marxist Lenini Stalini and insult Sisi normal .. Cursing Sisi is a sacrifice offered for justice and humanity."
This remarkable presence on the streets of Arab countries was reflected in the electronic reality, where many Arab activists celebrated those chants, and highlighted them in their tweets, listing what they see as the reasons for those chants.
From the sweetest chants today: |
Embarrassing question two pills to inform the military in Egypt: |
The Arab peoples rise up against injustice everywhere and curses Sisi in all their demonstrations. |
In return, supporters of Sisi tried to play down those chants, accusing Brotherhood supporters of being behind them and trying to portray them as public populist chants.
The Brotherhood on every occasion recruits some of its members to cheer against Sisi or raise banners offensive ... Just brothers do not people and this is their style. - mohm mosilhy (@mohmmosilhy) October 21, 2019 |
The top of the coup pyramid
The leader of the Revolutionary Tomorrow Party, Ayman Nour, considered the presence of Sisi as the most prominent of those who chanted against them in the movement of the peoples of Arab countries and has a close relationship with him as representing the "summit of the pyramid of the coup against the values of freedom, justice and dignity to which they yearn and call for, and for which the Egyptian people paid a lot of blood."
"There is no doubt that Sisi is the most complete model of the idea of counter-revolution and coup against popular revolutions," Nour told Al Jazeera Net.
"The phone against Sisi condemns in this way every army that seeks to depart from its supposed role and play a political role. They also condemn the system of counter-revolution, which is based on the idea of hostility to the ideal icons, ideas and values of the revolution."
Nour attributed the focus of the Arab masses to chanting against Sisi exclusively because of the difference between the terrifying regimes of the revolution, such as some Gulf regimes that are hostile to the revolutions of the Arab Spring, and others turned against them, as is the case with Sisi and his regime.
The status of Egypt
For his part, Essam Abdel Shafi, a professor of political science and president of the Academy of International Relations, believes that the attack on Sisi in the movement of Arab countries was caused by the nature of Egypt's pivotal role in all the interactions and issues of the region, and Egypt's place in the hearts of these peoples, and its keenness on the rise of Egypt as a renaissance for all Arabs.
Abdel Shafi told Al Jazeera Net that the Arab people realize that the presence of Sisi represents a dwarfing of the status and role of Egypt, in light of his policies in support of the forces of corruption and tyranny in their countries, and its absolute identification with the policies of the Zionist entity in the region, he said.
He pointed to the role of the Egyptian media supporting Sisi in creating a state of ridicule, hatred and mobilization in the hearts of the Arab revolutionary forces with their hostile stances against the will to liberate them, and support the dictators and distort the movement in their country and its participants.
