For the commander of the Egyptian Army, General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, events in the country-a kind of rubon, a point of no return. If in the first days after the shift of Mursi he could only be afraid of the return to the power of the Muslim Brothers, who would undoubtedly condemn him for a coup d'etat, now any civil authorities will be forced to judge him for a massive massacre arranged on Wednesday, August 14. He perfectly understands this, and therefore it is difficult to imagine on what conditions he can allow in the future, as promised, the transfer of power to the democratically elected government.
The already shaky legitimacy of the transition government was destroyed by the resignation of one of the key figures in the office-the Nobel laureate of Mohammed El Baradei, the former head of the Magate. He said that the military did not have enough effort to peacefully resolve the conflict with the “brothers”, and condemned excessive violence in the acceleration of Mursi's supporters.
On the nearest Wednesday, the transition government scheduled the representation of a new constitution, according to which, six months later, democratic elections should have passed. I don’t think someone else believes in it. In response to the acceleration of the Muslim Brothers and their supporters attacked state institutions, police sections, more than 40 police officers were killed. About 30 churches throughout the country were also attacked. Some of them were burned. Attempts to discharge the situation in the input of a state of emergency, the commandant’s commandant did not stop the “brothers” and their supporters from going outside after Friday prayer: on August 16, they declared “the day of anger”. There is no doubt that the events of the last week will lead to even greater radicalization of the “brothers-Muslims” and their rapprochement with Al-Qaeda.
The country's rolling into the abyss of the Civil War according to the Syrian scenario is more than possible. Do not forget that the current leader of Al-Qaeda Aiman Az-Zawakhiri is an Egyptian. Moreover, he is a former member of the Muslim Brothers. Al-Qaeda would give a lot precisely for such a development of events.
The Civil War in Egypt could completely undermine the world in the Middle East, no one is ready to allow this. The more strange is such a sluggish reaction to Egyptian events in the world. The United States still has not recognized the military-coup to power the military-after all, then it would have to be suspended 1.5 millionaire assistance to Egypt. The UN Security Council was limited only to calls for restraint of violence. Calls for a peaceful dialogue are distributed from Washington to Tehran, from Moscow to the European Union, from Beijing to Saudi Arabia. But no one has specific proposals for mediation. Such a rare “unity” of the world community is unlikely to form players in the bloody Egyptian match.
