Is Egypt On Brink Of Civil War ???

In the last few days there were dozens of separate attacks in Egypt from the Sinai up to Cairo. Probably more than 60 people died while the Egyptian army used F16 attack planes to protect itself against it disgruntled population. It is clear that the Egyptian rulers will not be able to contain the current situation, today could be marked as the start of Egypt’s civil war.

Democratic elected governments were violently overthrown, in Algeria, Egypt and  Palestinian territories. In Algeria the FIS  had won the first held elections with a convincing majority in 1990 and 1992. It has been removed from power in 1992 by a coup d’etat that was highly approved by the West. Probably 150.000 people died in the civil war that followed these events up.

HAMAS winning the 2006 elections in the Palestinian territories resulted in a war among Palestinians and ended up with a split of Gaza and the West Bank

In 2011 Morsi, leader of the Muslim Brotherhood won the first free elections in Egypt.

In 2013 the first elected president of Egypt was removed by the army. There are clear signs that anti-democratic forces were deliberately destabilizing Egypt before the coup d’etat in 2013. In the running up of the July 3th coup by General Sisi an artificial oil shortages was created that contributed to the mass protest against the elected president of Egypt.

The new army coup was financially supported by the Saudi rulers while the West was mute, the only vocalized opposition came from Turkey’s PM Erdogan.

Not only is the entire Middle East about to explode in war, but the US has clearly come down on the side of kings and military dictators instead of being on the side of the people of the region. Whether this is due to our blind support of Israel or our own stupidity is irrelevant. Things are about to really get out of hand over there, and there is not much we can do about it.

The US should have listened to JFK, but instead we let someone kill him:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

His words are a perfect description of the past 70 years of US foreign policy.
