Junior Brotherhood members demand organization’s dissolution

After its overthrow in the June 30, 2013 revolution, the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood organization, especially its branches outside Egypt, failed to mobilize its members inside the country in its favor.

It tried to destabilize Egypt numerous times, but these attempts also failed. This opened the door for calls for disbanding the organization by a large number of its members.

Junior members of the Brotherhood blamed the organization’s senior members for its failure. They especially lashed out at the camp of acting Brotherhood supreme guide Mahmud Ezzat, now in Egyptian custody. The same camp is now led by the Brotherhood’s de facto leader Ibrahim Muneer.

Dissolution

The White House included the Brotherhood in its list of terrorist entities in 2019. This caused a large number of Brotherhood members to demand the dissolution of the organization.

They said the organization’s leadership caused it to reach this deplorable condition.

The same members blamed the Mahmud Ezzat front for the collapse of the organization.

Prominent Brotherhood figures, such as Ibrahim Al-Zafarani, Essam Telema, demanded the disbanding of the organization, along with a large number of junior members.

Zafarani made his demand for the dissolution of the organization soon after the White House designated the Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist entity.

He called for the abolition of the International Organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, noting that the organization has not presence on the ground.

The organization, he said, is used by some people as a scarecrow on demand.

Zafarani noted that the meetings of the organization’s institutions have been suspended for many years.

This organization did not have any active role in the events that happened in the past years, Zafarani said.

Telema, for his part, said the senior leaders of the Brotherhood are the reason for scandalizing the organization in the media.

They exposed the organization’s use of violence, he said.

This caused the United States to brand the organization as a terrorist entity, he added.
