EGYPT CONSPIRACY MANAGED BY U.S

Cairo, 1 Shawwal 1434 /8 August 2013 (MINA) – A member of the Conscience Front, Egypt, Mohamed Sharaf said that the current upheaval in Egypt is totally under the control of the United States.

“The US had been a primary in the coup, in the arrangement for the coup, but it had been not just after Morsi became a president – it is right after the Egyptian revolution in 2011. They were taken by surprise; they didn’t believe that there would be a revolution; so they started their work. The SCAF, the Supreme Council for the Armed Forces at that time, took care of all the demands of dismantling the revolution and bringing it back to square one,” he said in an exclusive interview with one of the international television stations as monitored by Mi’raj News Agency (MINA).

Sharaf also said that the U.S. ambassador was along with the army chief Al Sisi in announcing the coup. The U.S. ambassador also asked President Morsi to resign, but President Morsi rejected.

“The the American ambassador was there right at the time of the coup with the commander of the armed forces asking President Morsi to abrogate and sign for his abrogation and resign, but President Morsi by his refusal and him becoming obstinate and in this case that is the start of the coup to fail; it didn’t go as they had expected.

They thought that President Morsi is soft and they could gain his resignation. So, that is how the coup didn’t [work]. Also, they didn’t expect the amount of masses and the resistance in the streets. The coup failed the moment they started the bloodshed. The coup represents the most violent act that you can apply on people; you are stealing their democracy, you are taking their votes, you are stampeding on their ballots and their values, and saying we go back to zero,”he added.

“The only gain that we gained from the Egyptian revolution in 2011 was the democratic process that we started and it is not the Muslim brothers – like some people imagined – who are out in the streets. It’s old factions of Egyptians that are on the streets, “he added.

Syaraf added that there is a foreign intervention, particularly the European countries under the pretext of offering themshelves as a mediator. But we rejected it all. “The people of Egypt can tackle the crisis by its own effort without foreign interference,” he said.

According to Syaraf, the only solution to the current crisis is to restore Egypt’s president Mursi to the presidency. Mursi is the democratically elected president and the international community know it.

The Conscience Party members refused to reconcile with the opposition parties or the military. “How can we negotiate with people who have robbed our sovereignty? It was just as we negotiate with the robbers who plundered goods in our homes, “he explained.

“What we had in Egypt was a conspiracy; it was managed internationally by the United States and to a lesser extent by the European Union and by some in the [Persian] Gulf State, with the exception of Qatar to be quite honest, and Israel of course. It was run on the Egyptian scene by the SCAF, by what you call the secularists or whoever, it was run by the party of Israel in Egypt. We have a strong party of Zionists in Egypt, Egyptian Zionists, who oppose the Egyptian aspirations and they oppose the regime. That is why now you see Hamas is the enemy of Egypt or the enemy of those who took part in the coup, “he said again. (T/P04/E1)
