Egipte, nog ‘n beleidsramp vir Obama

Kerry onder druk om militêre hulp na Egipte op te skort
Kerry onder druk om militêre hulp na Egipte op te skort

Met nog ‘n bloedbad in die strate van Kaïro, het Egipte se regerende generaals bo enige twyfel gewys en blykbaar min belang daarin het om nie ‘n junta te lei nie. Nieteenstaande toon hulle egter min aanleg daarvoor.

Die politieke rigting waarin genl Abdul Fattah-el-Sisi, – Egipte se de facto-leier – tans met die wrede onderdrukking van die Moslembroederskap die land stuur, is die ergste van alle moontlike uitkomste vir die VSA en die EU: ‘n Moordende burgeroorlog.

Dié twee stemme, die VSA en EU, het voortdurend die indruk probeer skep dat hulle in beheer van alle “demokratiese” prosesse oral ter wêreld is en sulke prosesse aktief bevorder as hulle nie invalle in die naam daarvan loods nie.

Toe nie.

Miljoene Egiptenare het blykbaar self reeds besluit dat dit makliker is om af te breek as om op te bou.

Dit is natuurlik ‘n tragedie vir die gewone man op straat, wat tot onlangs geglo het dat dekades van onderdrukking en diktatuur op ‘n einde is en dat ‘n nuwe toekoms aangebreek het. Hulle is dan deur die bleekvelle die versekering gegee dat dit net beter kan gaan, met die “Lente” se aanbreek.

Dít is hoekom die bloedbad ‘n buitelandse beleidsramp vir die Verenigde State van Amerika is. En nie net omdat Egipte die mees digbevolkte en invloedryke land in die Arabiese wêreld is nie.

Die VSA was die Egiptiese weermag se hoofborg. Diegene wat geargumenteer het dat dié hulp aan Amerika die nodige hefboomkrag sal gee om rigtingbepalend op te tree, sal weer moet besin. Die weermag se wrede optrede teen vreedsame betogers het pas tonne simpatie vir die Moslembroederskap geskep.

Byna 600 inwoners is sedert Woensdag gedood toe militêre en polisie-eenhede met helikopters, skerpskutters, stootskrapers en traangas in Kaïro op hulle toegesak het, en ‘n landwye noodtoestand is afgekondig terwyl die “tussentydse regering” 25 nuwe provinsiale goewerneurs benoem het, 19 van hulle generaals.

Niemand kan meer twyfel dat ‘n junta Egipte regeer nie, een wat met die hulp van die VSA toegerus is.

      1. Waar, maar lande verskil wel ‘n bietjie wat dit betref. Iran onder Ahmedinejad het die groot behoefte aan regverdige regering wereldwyd wel aangespreek en deurgaans op sy agenda gehad. En dan aan die ander kant van die glyskaal: daar bestaan geen groter onregverdige regering op planeet Aarde, as die Weste nie, met die mag gesetel in VSA-Israel nie.

          1. Matt jy dien jou engelse meesters so ek gaan jou in engels antwoord.
            Please do NOT reply to me in this or any other forum!!!! You sir, are the perfect politician, you speak for hours without saying anything. Kind regards

          2. Politieke magte met geld maak oorlog deur intermediere entiteite, soos state, met weermagte. Die Grensoorlog het nie begin oor geld nie, maar as gevolg van geweldige groot magsvakuum gelaat na die rewolusie in Portugal.

    1. To prove, or rather disprove, the existence of mythological beings is a fairly hopeless undertaking. To produce hard evidence for fictitious beings, as we all know, is impossible. This, however, hasn’t discouraged believers to have a go at it up through the centuries. Since God hasn’t found it interesting to show himself for his flock since antiquity, the believers have had to settle for more theoretical “evidence” in the case. Usually the “evidence” has been theological mambo jumbo, wordplay and circular reasoning.

          1. Ontspan Matt. Was maar gedoen met die tong in die kies. ( Nie dat daar NIE n ds Heyns was nie !? )
            Danksy ingryping van n ( ons weet watter groepering ) en sg ” los kanon ” – eet hy nou ” pie in the sky “.

          2. Matt hoekom is jy skaam vir jou oortuigings? Jy bly
            net kronies die Christelike geloof afkraak – oor jou “geloof” egter swyg jy soos
            die graf – Moet mens dus hieruit aflei dat jy gewoon net n disipel van die
            antichris is?

            O my genade jy is n Moslem!

          3. The origin of Christianity is the Jewish religion, Judaism. Christianity is a development of Judaism and the fulfillment of the Jewish Mashiach prophecies of the Old Testament.

          4. Kry tog die RIEMTELEGRAM.
            Geloof en bedsake is hoogs persoonlik. ( Waarom dink u staan daar n bordjie in elke kroeg wat dit verbied ? )
            Ek meen : – Durf ek u vra hoeveel keer n dag u aan u neus ( of ander plekke ) krap, om net daarna aan u vingers te ruik ?
            JEEEEEESSS !

    2. Uuhhm okay…hoe verduidelik jy dat die huidige “Israel” nie die Bybel of die christen se “Jesus” / “Jashua” erken nie, terwyl die Woord sê julle sal my getuies wees..ens..ens

      Leidraad: Die huidige (kroeskop, hakneus, brildraende” Jode is Edomiete.

      Nou sal jy daai tor moet terugsit op die prop….

      1. Now, who was the real Son of God, born by a mortal virgin mother, and often presented as the venerated newborn infant, or depicted riding a donkey? He healed the sick and did numerous wonders, among those making fine wine from plain water. He was killed but resurrected from the dead and became immortal. The followers of this God often ate a holy meal in a kind of sacramental union with the deity to achieve immortality after their death. One of this god’s finest achievements was his death, his sacrifice, which delivers the whole human kind.

        The God was the very popular Dionysos.

      2. Who was born by a mortal virgin mother and had a divine Father, and was known as the “Saviour of the world”? Before he was born his parents wandered to a bigger town, and prophets had foretold his birth and that he would be a king. This instigated a search for the infant Saviour by a leading figure who wanted to kill him. After growing up the Son of God was shown all the kingdoms of the world from a high mountain. He also walked on water and when he met his end his mother and his favorite disciple stood by him. He then tells his mother: “Do not cry, I’m going to heaven”. When he dies he utter: “It is finished” and the earth trembles and darkness cover the land. Then he ascended to heaven, and his greatest achievement was to conquer death.

        His name was of course…Hercules.

      3. Ds Hannes Noëth: Those who chronicled the life and acts of Jesus found it advisable to metamorphose him into a solar deity. The historical Jesus was forgotten; nearly all the salient incidents recorded in the four Gospels have their correlations in the movements, phases, or functions of the heavenly bodies. In the third century, when the church fathers were consolidating the Christian church, they had no knowledge of the date of Jesus’ birth. They chose the date celebrated by the pagans, the winter solstice, when the darkest days give way to the promise of brighter ones. This was incorporated in terms of the zodiac into the story of the birth of Jesus, or the sun. In the late hour of the twenty-fourth of December, the zodiacal sign Virgo, or the Virgin, rests on the horizon or ascendant. At the hour of midnight, the sun enters the sign of Capricorn — the manger and the goat. Thus is the sun — Jesus — born of a virgin, by an immaculate conception?

      4. Die huidige Israel is self die Messias. Mos die baken van beskawing, demokrasie en goddelike geregtigheid in die Midde-Ooste.
        Pasop vir slegs uiterlike: daar is ook mooi blanke Edomiete. En hulle is broers van Jakob.
        Hoe dit ook al sy, Obama is nie ‘n Edomiet nie: hy en die VSA se weermag ondersteun die bloedige staatsgreep in Egipte, onder invloed van Israel en in belang van die staat Israel alleen.
        Dit was nie baie duidelik in hierdie PRAAG-artikel nie, maar dit is ‘n sensitiewe saak.

  1. Dissatisfied by the incompetent Muslim Brotherhood (MB) governance and alarmed by their blatant agenda to turn Egypt into another Somalia or Afghanistan, Egyptians revolted again. But this time they rallied in millions across the country not against a failing president or government, but against a fascist group that peddles religion, feeds on ignorance and prejudice and craves authoritarian power and in doing that the MB respects no civil norms and leaves nothing behind except chaos, violence and ruins of a nation.

  2. I really love it when the west starts peeking at the Egyptian scene, through headlines and clueless TV reports, specially the brotherhoodized Al Jazeera’s, and when things get a little bit out of hand and may be beyond expectations and plans, we begin to hear the reactionary cliches “This is a coup, this is undemocratic. After all, Morsi is an elected president”

  3. Jacobmouw: In fact, the earliest vestiges of human faith in a God, as we know it today, are to be traced back to the valley of the river Nile and between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris. We’re surely to find the root of our belief in a supreme creator inscribed, in hieroglyphs and cuneiform, on the pyramids and papyri of ancient Egypt and on the clay tablets of Sumer … And not within the confines of the Hebrew Bible, as many still believe.

    1. Die hoog-beskawing van Antieke Egipte en die Egiptiese Ryk het groot politieke en globale godsbegrip- en godsdiensontwikkelling ondergaan. Van daardie imperatiewe is nog te meer aktueel vandag. Die Hebreeus-Aramese Bybelboeke, sowel as die Griekse Bybelboeke, is baie sterk beinvloed deur die Egiptiese beskawing, Egiptiese politiek, en Egiptiese godsdienste. Bybel kom van Biblios – Egiptiese papierus. En Adon Adonai kom van die Aten.
