MB admits Sisi's international visits were successful
Published in Albawaba on 20 - 06 - 2015

Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood (MB) admitted President Abd Al Fattah Al Sisi's foreign visits made the West stop backing the group, specially after judicial rulings against former President Mohamed Morsi and a number of MB leaders, Al Bawaba News reported Saturday.
Amr Derag, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the Free and Justice dissolved party, denounced the revival of relations between the west and Cairo, calling on the international community to marginalize Egypt in response to the death sentences against MB leaders.
The death sentence against Morsi was condemned by some countries, Derag added, indicating the U.S. considered the verdict "very disturbing", which is an inviscid reaction, taking into account the public flattery practiced by the US administration this year towards Egypt.
" The western hesitance indicates that the west sees in Egypt a bulwark against extremism, as Al Sisi has proved his toughness in an area ravaged by chaos and rebel groups," Derag asserted.
Derag claimed that the exclusion of former MB officials and their supporters and sympathizers could lead to the isolation of an important sector of Egyptian voters pushing them toward extremism and moving them far outside the framework of the political process.
Yahya Hamid, Head of MB Foreign Relations, said the group has opened contacts with leaders and officials of a number of countries to discuss the crisis facing MB in addition to discussing what he called a "vision for the future."
The group will continue its activities internally and externally as usual, and the sentences handed down against its leaders will not affect them, Hamid added.
