CEMO appeals the Security Council to nominate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group

Ali added in a statement issued today that the Council’s speed in putting the Brotherhood and its international organization on the list of terrorist organizations is a decision that will contribute to taking decisive steps against countries that help and finance terrorism and terrorists, including Qatar and Turkey.

Ankara and Doha have become, as Ali said, a safe haven for all leaders and members of the terrorist Brotherhood organization, and condemned the emergence of terrorists affiliated with the Brotherhood promoting terrorism and terrorist operations inside Syria and Libya.

The Security Council resolution included the inclusion of the first entity known as ISIS in Libya, which was formed in November 2014 based on the declaration of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai, the murdered leader of ISIS, to establish the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
