The wave of conflicts escalated within the terrorist organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, especially after the London Front instructed all leaders at home and abroad to commit to supporting the organization’s new guide, Salah Abdel-Haq, which was rejected by the electronic committees of the Istanbul Front, which led to the emergence of a war of media committees between the two parties again.
Observers believe that the conflict between the two fronts of the new guide in London, Salah Abdel-Haq, and the former Secretary-General of the group in Istanbul, Mahmoud Hussein, has reached an advanced stage in light of the mutual accusations that the electronic committees are currently making, which has angered the youth cadres fleeing abroad, indicating that the conflict has reached the stage of competition. In controlling the branches and offices of the organization at home and abroad, regional offices, companies, investment and financing shares, and subscriptions and donations that reach the group.
Brotherhood activists loyal to the Istanbul Front attacked Salah Abdel-Haq, accusing him of a number of outstanding files within the organization and the crisis of the Brotherhood imprisoned for terrorist cases in Egypt, and the search for additional support for the Brotherhood, and participation in the national dialogue, although many leaders see it as incapacitating, but its aim is to provoke the weakness of Abdel-Haq. In the inability to manage the reins of the organization.
For his part, Dr. Sabra Al-Qasimi, an expert on terrorist groups in Cairo, told Okaz that the Brotherhood’s conflicts reflect the state of severe organizational disagreement, explaining that the Istanbul Front, led by Mahmoud Hussein, sees through its committees that the London Front ended with the death of Ibrahim Munir.
Al-Qasimi pointed out that the Istanbul Front described Salah Abdel-Haq as a “blessing man” whose opinion cannot be taken into account in the group’s affairs, as he is inexperienced and not a man of the stage, stressing that the state of disagreements and divisions, the media war and accusations between the two parties, caused the abandonment of the principle of hearing and obedience, which is Something that did not exist before.
The expert in the affairs of terrorist groups expected the group's internal crisis to escalate and reach a stage of rivalry during the coming period, and the two sides will not give up their positions, which is reflected in the statements they issued, and this will certainly lead them in the end to the abyss.
Al-Qasimi ruled out any participation from near or far by the Brotherhood in the national dialogue that begins next May 3, or the release of those whose hands are stained with the blood of Egyptians from prisons, stressing by saying: “There is no place for those who betrayed the homeland in the dialogue.”
He concluded his speech by saying: Despite the differences between the three currents (Istanbul, London, and finally the Kemalists Front), there is agreement among them to spread violence, coup, and the instability of the Egyptians.
