The following is a translation of the Arabic statement.
Press Statement from the Media Office of Hizb ut
Tahrir Wilayah of Egypt
Sisi’s call for the Egyptians to descend upon the
streets is an attempt to attain ‘Popular consent’ as a cover to bloodily break
up the protests.
In a
speech given on Wednesday 24/07/2013 on the occasion of the graduation ceremony
of two groups from the Navy and Air colleges in the Cairo Governorate, General
Abdul Fattah As-Sisi said: “I request from the Egyptians on the day of Jumu’ah,
from all of the honorable trustworthy Egyptians, to descend upon the streets to
give me the delegated authority to end the potential of violence and terrorism!”.
And
these words carry serious and dangerous connotations that must be made clear:
1) It
displays in a clear way that everything that has occurred since the appointment
of a temporary President and Prime Minister was only done to provide decoration
to the coup that occurred on 30/6. And that the real ruler of the land is Sisi
and all of the others are only puppets which are moved whenever he decides to
move them.
2) The
request of Sisi to provide him with the delegated authority to end the
‘Potential of violence and terrorism’ is a request to provide him with the
authority to disperse the protests that are in support of the stripped
President by force and decisiveness and even if these means by committing
massacres and killing the people. And this call will cause the land to enter
into a dark tunnel warning of great evils!
3) The
radio of the Jewish entity said on Monday 24/06 that the President of the State
Shimon Peres has expressed once again in front of influential persons of his
great concern by what he described as the ‘devastating results’ upon Israel in
the case of the military coup in Egypt failing.
And the
radio added that the source of his worry is the lack of certainty in regards to
the final success of the coup taken against Doctor Mursi where he warned that
Israel will be the first state that will be punished as a result of the coups
failure. And it appears that the Israeli worries represent one of the factors
that have pushed those behind the coup to take steps of escalation in an
attempt to deal with the matter decisively in their favour, steps that could
make the country fall into internal killing! This is because they do not care
about the number of the sons of the Ummah that may be killed but rather their
concern is only about preserving the security of the Jewish entity!
4) It
is clear that General Sisi and those who pushed him into taking the steps of
making the coup are now in a dilemma and he is not confident that the army
leaderships will go along with him. For this reason he is attempting to gather
his supporters to silence any potential dissent inside of the military
establishment and outside of it against his decisions. And he wants to
implement his ‘Future roadmap’ that was announced on 06/30 by force and even if
this means by killing people. It is probable however that this gathering will
never be sufficient for him and as a result he could seek assistance from
forces taken from the army and police force who will be dressed in civilian
clothing or even official clothing as has been done in the past whilst
exploiting and taking advantage of the media that is under his control to shape
to agitate and inflame the people into descending upon the streets. At the same
time they will strive to strangle and block any channel that attempts to show
the size of the crowds of the opposing side.
5) In
conclusion we warn all sides of being dragged into these criminal plans that
will cause the Ummah to fall into a sea of blood! And none will benefit from
this except for the enemies of the Ummah that are always waiting for
opportunities to pounce upon her. We call all those who are sincere from
amongst the Army officers and its leadership in Egypt Al-Kinaanah to take the
side of their Ummah and the path of its civilization and heritage and not the
false pretence of democratic legitimacy or the illusion of the legitimacy of
the people! Rather the only legitimacy is to the divine Shar’iyah of the Lord
which is manifested in the Islamic Khilafah State, which will fill the earth
with prosperity and justice after it having been filled with corruption and
oppression.
وَلا تَكُونُوا
كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَاخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ
وَأُوْلَئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
And
do not be like those who divided and differed after clear proofs came to them
and for them is a great punishment (Aali ‘Imraan 105)
