Opinion: Egypt terror inciters should be pursued internationally
Published in Albawaba on 28 - 05 - 2017

The repeated crimes targeting Egypt are evil acts that require regional and international action, as the causes and consequences are no longer solely an Egyptian matter. What happened on Friday in Minya is part of a series of terrorist attacks linked to Egypt's armed opposition, as well as to opposition factions that openly incite violence.
It is imperative to demand that all incitement and actions against Egypt be considered international crimes, as is the case with terrorist groups such as Daesh, Al-Qaeda, Ansar Al-Sharia and others. Governments and media allowing incitement against Egypt must be held accountable because they are directly responsible for what is happening in the country.
It is no longer just Egyptian government apparatuses that are targeted — this used to be the justification for the violence. Most of the crimes are now directed at civilian facilities, leading to civilian victims and sectarianism between Copts and Muslims. We support the Egyptian people, and cannot stay neutral in the face of these repeated crimes. Keeping mum on such hideous terrorist attacks and their justifications cannot be tolerated anymore.
The Muslim Brotherhood, and governments supporting it, must be aware of the gravity of what they are doing, because they are responsible for these terrorist operations that are the outcome of their irrational political actions. They will be targeted via international curbs, prosecution and isolation.
The conflict with the Egyptian government, and the political, organizational, media and financial campaigns against it, have gone too far after the failure to create a peaceful civil opposition movement. As the world is fighting together against Daesh in Iraq and Syria, it will be angered by what is happening in Egypt.
The attack in Minya, similar to the crime in Manchester a few days ago, is part of the cycle of violence that follows the justification of terrorism, media propaganda and indirect funding.
More than 90 people were killed in four terrorist sectarian attacks in Cairo, Alexandria, Tanta and Minya. It will not be difficult to hold accountable the governments that support Egyptian terrorist groups, whether in terms of funds or media exposure.
The new international approach not only pursues terrorist organizations, but will also point the finger at governments that allow extremist ideologies, accept their political discourse and promote extremism, both in the media and politically.
There is undoubtedly an interrelation between these groups claiming to be peaceful but at the same time agreeing on terrorist ideologies. They are now considered political entities. This applies to the Brotherhood, particularly its Egyptian branch.
The attack in Minya, similar to the crime in Manchester a few days ago, is part of the cycle of violence that follows the justification of terrorism, media propaganda and indirect funding. Terrorism has become an international crime.
