One of the most famous Egyptian examples that talks about chasing wrong for its perpetrators, and makes them feel for every word or sign that reminds them of this mistake even if it was not intended, and it is close to what the famous Arab proverb expressed. .

Perhaps that may be summed up by the relationship of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to the Rabaa El-Adawiya massacre, which occurred two months after the military coup in the summer of 2013, and killed hundreds of supporters of the late President Mohamed Morsi, who staged a sit-in in the field east of Cairo bearing this name, and this was a rejection of the coup that Sisi led when He was defense minister.

The fourth massacre, which is considered the largest in modern Egyptian history, has been chasing Al-Sisi and remembers her speaking about it from time to time, despite the passage of nearly seven years and the failure of one of its perpetrators to be tried. On the contrary, it was the victims who were convicted.

Al-Sisi's last statements about Rabaa came yesterday, Wednesday, during the celebration of ending the excavation work in one of the tunnels under the Suez Canal.

During the celebration, the head of the Engineering Authority of the Egyptian Armed Forces, Major General Ehab al-Far, talked about the authority’s work in constructing several bridges east of Cairo, and when he spoke about the Bridge of Al-Tayaran Street, Sisi boycotted him, confirming that his name was the bridge of the martyr Hisham Barakat, the former Attorney General who was assassinated in the summer of 2015.

When the military official re-talked about the bridge, he mentioned the fourth square that passes over it, and here Sisi was agitated, stressing that the name is the square and the bridge of the martyr Hisham Barakat.

The Egyptian authorities named Hisham Barakat on the Rabaa Square, referring to his role towards the forcible removal of the sit-in, as the legal order for the silver was issued by the Public Prosecution headed by Barakat.


"Think of a fourth."

It seems that talking about Rabaa spoiled Sisi with the joy of celebrating a number of projects that he opened yesterday, as the sites of communication exploded with sarcasm at times and with anger at other times, because the President remembered the fourth massacre and tried to obliterate it.

And Nakaya in Sisi, activists and opponents launched a poem entitled "Thinking a fourth" to emphasize that the massacre was rooted in the Egyptian memory and not to be forgotten despite the passage of years.

In contrast to the joy and celebrations that Sisi wanted, social media in Egypt turned into a state of sadness, after circulating pictures of victims of the massacre and reports of Egyptian and international human rights organizations around it, while others chose to share photos of those who said they were accused of breaking up the sit-in, headed by Sisi himself as The Minister of Defense at the time, and the de facto ruler of the country.

Mogherdon noted that Rabaa was one of a series of massacres committed against Egyptians since the January 2011 revolution to date.

Many of the pioneers of the networking sites agreed that Rabaa had turned into a nightmare chasing Al-Sisi, and he cannot be freed from it.

After his anger, which seemed clear from Rabaa’s name, activists respond to Al-Sisi with the tag # Fakreen_Rabaa, who is one of the top players on Twitter pic.twitter.com/voFEUkNJ3k

The curse of blood is chasing the general obsessed with greatness,
whose name is Rabah Square. You
will remain fourth in the heart and memory .. And
you will remain their killer and burn them alive ..
# So consider _the fourth

You named him Hisham Barakat, you named him with a beard, you called him Blue Jinn,
Rabaa Square will remain a witness to your crime and the fascism of your regime, and one day you will receive your punishment and Rabaa and its blood will chase you and every killer who participated in the massacre
so that you do not forget the
names of the security and military leaders who planned to implement the Raisa sit-in massacre and the Renaissance # picern_pak twitter.com/w5u37y5B2h
