Messages for home and abroad
The head of the Egyptian-German coalition, Ali Al-Awadi, said that the movement of the Egyptian people in the villages inflamed the hearts and feelings of Egyptians abroad, so they went out showing their support for their families at home.
In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, Al-Awadi added that the Egyptians' departure in most countries of the world and the stops in front of Egypt's embassies abroad are a message that we are not less than our people who stand with their bare chests in front of the military fire.
For his part, the head of the media office of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council, Mohamed Salah, said that the council issued a public call since the beginning of the movement for Egyptians abroad, inviting them to stand in front of embassies and communicate with members of parliaments and Western governments in their countries, in order to convey the voice of the continuous movement inside Egypt.
Speaking to Al-Jazeera Net, Salah added that the activities abroad have a strong message to the protesters in Egypt, which is that Egyptians abroad are with you and support your movement that demands the overthrow of Sisi.
Salah explained that the outside demonstrations aimed to clarify the image of the movement in the cities of Egypt, and how the Sisi regime dealt with it and bypassed it against the demonstrators, as well as the violations that happen to Egyptians.
Salah indicated that the Revolutionary Council sent several messages to the High Commission for the Right to Housing and other international organizations, to demand pressure on the Sisi regime to respect the right of Egyptians to a decent life, and to guarantee the right to demonstrate, and the right to choose their president.
In turn, the coordinator of the Global Coalition of Egyptians Abroad, Mustafa Ibrahim, emphasized that bias towards the movement of Egyptians at home and its defense, and conveying its voice and support, is a constant of the coalition in its strategy to deal with the Egyptian issue.
In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, Ibrahim stressed that the vigils that were organized abroad aimed to convey the voice of Egyptians at home, in light of the neglect and the blackout imposed by the newspapers and international agencies for the continuous movement, due to the siege imposed by the Sisi regime on its correspondents in Egypt.
Ibrahim explained that the Egyptian coalition is moving in the Egyptian cause on 3 axes: supporting any movement of Egyptians for their legitimate demands and trying to convey their voice to the world, and opposing the oppression that the Egyptian regime practices against the political movement in general, as the coalition tries to focus on human rights issues and support the Egyptian elite in The formation of a political back for the Egyptian movement.
