Sisi's regime in Egypt continuation of that of Mubarak – analyst

Press TV has conducted an interview with Aly el-Kabbany, an author and journalist in London, to get his take on an official announcement on the fatalities in Egypt in the violence following the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.

Press TV: What do you make of these numbers being presented by Egypt’s National Council for Human Rights? Twenty six hundred people died in violence following Morsi’s ouster in 2013. Many seem to contradict that claim saying it was a lot higher.

El-Kabbany: Actually, the number of deaths is so much higher than that because this tyrant regime, since they came in power after the military coup in the 3rd of July, committed brutal massacres in which hundreds have been killed and murdered in two days in Rabaa and al-Mada. And also, they are committing extra-judicial killing and murders every day against all the political opponents, against all the activists.

And it is very clear to everybody that this regime now is trying to mute every voice which speaks against their brutal practices since the 3rd of July. And at the same time, this illegitimate regime, the ironic issue is they are going to Yemen to protect them, support the legitimate president in their opinion. So, it is really ironic that now we have got a tyrant kingdom and sheikhdoms in the Arab world and military dictators in the other Arab countries. So, there is no democracy, there are no human rights and there is no respect for the other opinion, even peaceful protesters and peaceful opponents are not safe from this savage regime.

Press TV: Do you think that the situation is going to get worse as Sisi continues to consolidate his power and crack down even more on any form of dissent?

El-Kabbany: Most certainly, Sisi is scared and his regime is shaking and the situation will get worse. And we are even thinking now and seeing and witnessing trials by the Americans and other [Persian] Gulf countries to find a replacement for Sisi now represented in another puppet Ahmed Shafik, who is living now in the United Arab Emirate. And Egyptian press are talking these days about Shafik or General Shafik being a traitor to attack Sisi’s regime. And now the people will see him as Mubarak’s man and will see as if Mubarak’s regime is coming back, as if Sisi’s regime is not the return of Mubarak’s regime, the corrupt regime of that president, because both Shafik and Sisi were corrupt generals in the corrupt regime of Mubarak and they were loyal servant to the last minute to that regime. So, what is the difference between Shafik and Sisi? Nobody knows, they are both the same, but they are trying to deceive now the Egyptian people by changing faces and keeping the same regime by bringing back General Shafik in place of General Sisi.
