Egypt: UNSC must act against military dictator Sisi!

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

Today, as Western powers  control Asian nations, all anti-Islamic  countries and their fanatic media nuts  oppose Islamic rule in Egypt and are eager to  allow military dictatorship  to crush the roots of true democracy,  nurtured by post-Mubarak  era .  

As determined military rogues seeking to stay in power, destroying every possible popular leadership- especially the most popular Brotherhood party, opposed by anti-Islamic world, Egyptians are forced to vote today the 14^th January  in a military made constitutional referendum, the first ballot since the military in a coup overthrew popularly elected Islamist president Mohamed Mursi.

The military sponsored referendum is essentially is an event likely to spawn a presidential bid by army chief Dictator General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

With a view to  rule almost permanently with US backing, dictator Sisi deposed the first ever elected President of Egypt Mohammad Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected head of state, in July. His Islamist foes see Sisi as the mastermind of a coup that kindled the worst internal strife in Egypt's modern history and brought back what critics call a police state.

Egyptians are weary of the political upheaval that has gripped Egypt and shattered its economy since they rose up to topple autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, and they view Sisi as a decisive figure who can reinstate stability. Sisi hopes  that rebel Egyptians, who staged mass protests against Mursi's rule before his ouster, will turn out in big numbers and vote "yes" in the two-day referendum, a milestone in the army-backed government's political road map.

Sisi’s photos now are seen every corner of Egypt as a prelude to his permanent dictatorship Important analysts say the referendum is also turning out to be a vote on the popularity of a man whose image features on posters across Cairo. He seeks popularity by immoral means and if he runs for president, Sisi hopes to win to end democracy forever in Egypt and possibly Mideast with the help of Arab leadrs and Americans. . .

Military rogues undermine democratic gains made after Mubarak's fall.

This will be the third time Egyptians have voted on constitutional arrangements since the historic uprising against Mubarak, a former air force chief, in January 2011, and overall the sixth time they have gone to the polls since his downfall.

The military rogues want  the constitution to replace one signed into law by President Mursi a little more than a year ago after it was approved in a referendum. The new text strips out disputed Islamist language while strengthening state institutions that defied Mursi: the military, the police and the judiciary.

Approval of the rewritten constitution appears a foregone conclusion. Mursi's now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood is calling for a boycott rather than a "no" vote, while many Egyptians who backed his removal are expected to vote "yes" in support of the army-backed order that has replaced Islamist rule.

The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), a Geneva-based group that works to uphold the rule of law, described the draft constitution as highly flawed. "The referendum campaign has taken place within a context of fear, intimidation and repression, calling into question the fairness of the entire process," it said in a statement.

The referendum anchors a transition plan the government unveiled in July with the stated aim of restoring democracy, although it simultaneously launched a fierce crackdown on the Brotherhood, Egypt's best organized party until last year.

Driven underground and declared a terrorist group on December 25, the Brotherhood has said it will shun the road map. A presidential vote is expected as early as April, once the referendum is approved, with a parliamentary election later.

Egypt's political transition may well keep stumbling. Al Qaeda-linked Islamist militants, which security officials say have ties to the Brotherhood, have stepped up attacks against security forces since Mursi's ouster.

The Brotherhood has repeatedly said it is a peaceful movement and that it hoped street protests would bring down the government and its allies in the military.But the severe security clampdown - hundreds of Islamists have been killed and thousands arrested - has taken the steam out of demonstrations. Mursi and many other top Brotherhood leaders have been arrested and are on trial. State and private television channels demonize them as "terrorists" while frequently showing Sisi inspecting military sites, giving speeches and meeting with members of the public.

Anti-Islamic Egypt's Western allies were also hoping that a more competitive political field would emerge with military dictatorship, three years after the Arab Spring tide of democratic change swept through the country. But little leverage has been applied to back their calls for inclusive politics in the biggest Arab nation. Suspicions have already emerged about the fairness of the referendum.

Egypt is deeply influential in the Arab world and whatever political scenario unfolds there could impact the region. The political turmoil has wrecked the economy. But Gulf Arab states, suspicious of the Muslim Brotherhood, jumped to Egypt's rescue by supporting military dictatorship after President Mursi's illegal overthrow, providing billions of dollars in aid.

As per the military plan Egyptian government officials have hailed the revised constitution as a clear sign of democratic progress. Human rights groups are highly skeptical. Human Rights Watch expressed concern at reports that seven activists from the Strong Egypt party face criminal charges for hanging posters calling for a 'no' vote in the referendum.

Though the Egyptian citizens should be free to vote for or against the new constitution, not fear arrest for simply campaigning for a 'no' vote," the referendum itself is a shame on  UN and USA. President Mursi was protecting the right to vote as safeguarding the right to free expression.

Protecting the nation fo Egypt form the dictatorship of military is the urgent issue now.

Now UNSC should leave other issues for the time being and get rid of illegal military regime and its manipulative politics by using its judges.   

US led West should oppose military dictatorship in Egypt and help the elected President Mohammad president return to power to normalize democratic  system  in Egypt.

Military dictatorship is no democracy!
