Khairat Al-Shater Refuses Meeting with the Mediators

 It is crystal clear why Khairat el-Shater refused to meet with the delegation trying to defuse the crisis in Egypt. Very interestingly, the countries now in efforts to remove tension are, in a way or the other, responsible for making the situation reach critical stage.

American Assistant Secretary of the State is out with the foreign ministers of Qatar and UAE to bring the matter on table for purposeful talks to solve the problem.  Is it not a fact that UAE was among a few countries who first of all supported the coup and offered a huge 'prize amount' to general el-Sisi in the name of financial aid for Egypt. Now when the situation seems out of control of the authorities, the same countries have stepped up for negotiations between the military head el-Sisi and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Only a few days back John Kerry, the Secretary of the  State, in a bare talk with Pakistani GEO TV, shied not in sticking up for the coup by the Egyptian military commander. According to him it was a step to save the democracy. Really ridiculous and shameful!

It has made the matter unclouded that the coup had American backing. General el-Sisi's recent complaint about how the Americans first pushed him in hot-waters by encouraging the coup and then turned their back from supporting him to crush the Muslim Brotherhood is a self-evidence of the fact that America had patronized the intrigue.

As for Kerry's statement it is really awful. If existence of a rowdy crowd, which stayed at Tehreer Square with illicit acts of raping the lady journalists and women participating in the same demonstration, with the demand of removing an elected president from his post by force is justified, then the democratic principle of electing the representatives and heads of the states and government will meet its death.

Then why not another huge disciplined and peaceful gathering, not less in number, proves right in demanding to bring the deposed president back, restore the constitution and parliament?

The question is that the negotiators are on whose side? Are they out to shoot the general's trouble or they sincerely want Egypt out of the trouble? If they are well-wishers of the Egypt and Egyptian nation then they will have to be just and fair and strongly refute the coup.

Mr. Khairat el-Shater is right in his stand of refusing to meet with the delegation. He pointed out the right direction. He advised them to go and hold talks with Dr. Muhammad Morsi who still holds the mandate.
Negotiating with the meditators by Muslim Brotherhood and FJ party with minus Morsi means showing their backs to the man who is steadfastly on his stand that general el-Sisi betrayed him and proved dishonest to his oath by coup. Because what he did was unlawful and unconstitutional, so, he had to be punished for that. Munir Ahmed Khalili
