Brotherhood's protest calls fall flat
The outlawed Muslim Brotherhood has failed in spreading unrest in Egypt, especially after its calls for staging protests fell through.
The Brotherhood and its network of media outlets were
involved in a campaign of disinformation about the situation in Egypt.
They used fabricated scenes and videos to give a wrong
impression about the events of the past days.
However, this fabrication was uncovered by social media
users.
Sacked army officer Mohamed Salah posted a video,
claiming that it was of scenes from Egypt.
Nonetheless, the video, which showed demonstrators
pelting police vehicles with stones and Molotov cocktails, turned out to be
from the Gaza Strip.
Social media users in different governorates showed the
failure of Muslim Brotherhood protest calls.
They demonstrated the inability of the Brotherhood to
convince ordinary people to descend to the streets to protest against President
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
Calm reigned on the streets in Cairo and Giza and the
other provinces at the time of the presumed protests of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The outlawed group called for turning Friday into a day
of anger. Nevertheless, come Friday, the streets were totally empty.
Brotherhood former member Ibrahim Rabie accused the group
of working to spread violence to serve its own interests.
"It wants to destroy state institutions," Rabie
said.
He praised awareness on the part of ordinary people.
Rabie said all attempts by the Brotherhood to spread
anarchy and destroy the Egyptian state fell flat.
He called on Egyptians to move to protect their own state
against the terrorism practiced by the Brotherhood.
