Political figures from different Egyptian opposition groups have reportedly gathered in Turkey and established a “revolutionary council” to work against the military-backed government in Cairo.
According to a Saturday report by Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News, representatives of Egypt’s opposition groups, including former ministers of the deposed Muslim Brotherhood administration, officially declared the establishment of the “Egyptian Revolutionary Council” in Istanbul.
Mohammed Sharif Kamil, the council’s spokesman, pointed to the military-led ouster of Egypt’s former President Mohamed Morsi last July and said the new group in Turkey seeks to unite “all revolutionary forces and youths who are opposed to the military regime” in Cairo.
“The revolutionary and national forces…are capable of confronting the bloody terrorist coup which stole our revolution, killed and imprisoned our people, sold our country and spread destruction and fear through the land and kidnapped Dr. Mohamed Morsi,” Kamil added.
The Egyptian politician also called on all governments and nations in the world to support the council’s “cause of freedom, justice and human rights in Egypt.”
Egypt’s first democratically-elected president was toppled in a military coup led by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the country’s current president and then army commander.
Since Morsi’s removal, Egypt has been the scene of anti-government protests with continuous clashes between security forces and supporters of the ousted president.
Sisi is accused of leading the suppression of Muslim Brotherhood supporters as hundreds of them have been killed in clashes with Egyptian security forces.
On Saturday, an Egyptian court dissolved the country’s Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), the Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, and ordered its assets liquidated amid Cairo’s harsh crackdown on the members of the movement.
