Citizens continue demonstrations on streets of Egypt
Egyptian political parties on Wednesday voiced their support for the army chiefs call for mass rallies to give the military consent to end "terrorism" threatening the country
.
Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called for nationwide rallies on Friday to mandate the armed forces and police to crackdown on "violence and terrorism," following a series of violent clashes across the country.
Head of the Wafd Party, El Sayed El Badawy, called on all Egyptians to go out on the streets ?on Friday and repeat the protests and rallies of June 30 in order to give the army a mandate to confront “terrorist acts” that began after the ouster of former president Mohammed Morsi. ?
He said in a press conference that “we should prove to the whole world that whoever thinks that ?terror, murder and fear can defeat Egypt or break the will of its people is either a ?delusional fool or doesn’t know that the people won’t allow weapons or bloodshed to ?impose an opinion or change facts.”?
The Tamarod movement also asked Egyptians to support the armed forces in its "war against terrorism."
“We call on the Egyptian people to rally in squares on Friday to officially demand the trial of Mohammed Morsi and support [the] armed forces in its coming war against terrorism," the group said in a statement on its Facebook page.
In addition, the leftist Popular Current called on the people of Egypt to rally in squares on Friday, in response to Sisi’s call by to allow him to fight terrorism.
The leader of the Salvation Front Mohamed el-Orabi said to Arab Today that he also invited all to participate in order to get rid of ?the terrorism “which threatens the future of Egypt.?”
However in contrast to most other parties, the leader of the Freedom and Justice Party Azab Mostafa, said he refused the call by Sisi since he considered it an incitement to bloodshed
Mostafa told Arab Today that General Sisi’s invitation will only lead to violence.
Muslim Brotherhood leaders have meanwhile condemned the Sisi speech as a "threat."
"Your threat will not stop the millions from continuing to gather," senior Brotherhood member Essam El-Erian wrote on his Facebook page, calling Sisi "a coup leader who kills women, children and those at prayer."
