"The Muslim Brotherhood experience in ruling Egypt has squandered the January Revolution's dream of building a democratic contemporary state. A well deserved state that the whole region anticipates as a model and exemplar. I know, like many other Muslim Brothers, who I met in Egypt and abroad, that they are chiefly responsible for everything that we now consider unacceptable as Egypt shamelessly relapses into dictatorship and iron-fist rule. The Brothers must take blame." An excerpt from Egypt's Overriding Misgivings by Egyptian writer Ayman el-Sayed. The article was published in Al-Shorouk newspaper on December 15, 2013.
