Kaapstad: Moslems, ANC, Cosatu betoog teen geweld in Egipte

MJC1Duisende betogers sal vanoggend in Kaizergracht in Kaapstad byeenkom vir ‘n optog na die parlement om beswaar te maak teen die dood van betogers in Egipte.

Woensdagoggend se optog word gelei deur die Moslem-regsraad (MJC) asook ander organisasies, waaronder die ANC en Cosatu, wat hulle daarby sal aansluit.

“Die doel van die optog is om te protesteer teen die gewelddadige staatsgreep wat plaasgevind het drie weke gelede in Egipte en ook die gevolglike massamoord van betogers teen die staatsgreep. As Suid-Afrikaners voel ons dit is ons verantwoordelikheid om te reageer op ‘n ondemokratiese proses en die staatsterrorisme in Afrika,” het die MJC–woordvoerder Naboweya Mallick gesê.

Vroeër hierdie week, die Claremont Main Road-moskee in Kaapstad gevra vir ‘n einde aan die geweld in Egipte en vir die herstel van demokratiese regering.

  1. 1. The road that has been taken in Egypt is a dangerous one. A military coup has taken place in Egypt while millions of Egyptians have cheered it on with little thought about what is replacing the Muslim Brotherhood and the ramifications it will have for their society. Many people in cheering crowds have treated the Egyptian military’s coup like it was some sort of democratic act.
    2. Little do many of them remember who the generals of the Egyptian military work for. Those who are ideologically opposed to the Muslim Brotherhood have also cheered the military takeover without realizing that the military takeover ultimately serves imperialist behavior. The cheering crowds have not considered the negative precedent that has been set.
    3. Egypt was never cleansed of corrupt figures by the Muslim Brotherhood, which instead joined them. Key figures in Egypt, like Al-Azhar’s Grand Mufti Ahmed Al-Tayeb (who was appointed by Mubarak), criticized the Muslim Brotherhood when Mubark was in power, then denounced Mubarak and supported the Muslim Brotherhood when it gained power, and then denounced the Muslim Brotherhood when the military removed it from power.
    4. The disgraced Muslim Brotherhood has actually been replaced by a far worse assembly. These figures, whatever they call themselves, have only served power and never democracy. The military’s replacements for the Muslim Brotherhood – be it the new interim president or the leaders of the military junta—were either working with or serving the Muslim Brotherhood and, even before them, Hosni Mubarak’s regime.

    5. Die VSA wil die ou regime her-instel as Plan B.

  2. Vroeër hierdie week,het die Claremont Main Road-moskee in Kaapstad gevra vir ‘n einde aan die geweld in Egipte en vir die herstel van demokratiese regering. Ek is bevrees Plan B is in werking want die VSA is besig om die vorige regime weer in werking te bring.
