Egypt's Political Tension Escalates as Protests Challenge SCAF's Power
Egypt's political landscape remains tense as protests escalate, with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) accused of suppressing criticism and the military's role in the crisis coming under scrutiny.
Amnesty International has condemned the SCAF, alleging systematic attempts to silence dissent. Meanwhile, Major General Ismail Etman, a SCAF member, insisted that the council has not and will not censor the media, reaffirming their initial support for the people during the revolution.
Protesters, demanding a swift transfer of power to a civilian government, question the military's fairness in overseeing elections. Mokhtar al-Molla, another SCAF member, warned that known protesters aiming to delay elections may face consequences. He stressed the need for dialogue in Egypt's current conditions.
Al-Molla suggested that protesters' goal is to create a rift between the people and the military. He questioned why protesters want to dismantle the Interior Ministry and how police forces are being targeted simultaneously across governorates. The SCAF has maintained maximum restraint to prevent bloodshed and tarnish Egypt's image, according to al-Molla.
The standoff between protesters and the SCAF continues, with both sides digging in their heels. The media's role in providing balanced coverage and facilitating dialogue is crucial in navigating Egypt's political turmoil.
