30 June: Five years after the Muslim Brotherhood gov’t was deposed
2018-06-30
Long, and with linked subject articles as well. If today will be busy, you may want to skim today, then sit down tomorrow with a cup of coffee to ponder it properly, dear Reader.
[AlAhram] Egypt’s 30 June Revolution ended the political ambitions of the Moslem Brüderbund, but an accurate account of the group’s aims and methods is still necessary from the region today to correct widespread Western misunderstanding.

Five years after the millions-strong grassroots uprising that ousted the Moslem Brüderbund from ruling Egypt along with its president Mohammed Morsi, the country continues to suffer from the strains precipitated by a rebellion against an Islamist organization that had leveraged itself to power behind a democratic facade while its actual practices during its year in power foreshadowed a form of totalitarianism that would have had disastrous consequences for Egypt.

After the successful overthrow of the nascent Moslem Brüderbund theocracy in the 30 June 2013 Revolution, various Islamist groups vowed Dire Revenge against the Egyptian people and their new political authorities.
