The unstable situation in Egypt
Recent
Egyptian facts show that the country ruled by Al Sisi is back in a
serious state of instability, marked by a fierce policy of repression,
but also from a dangerous rift that runs through Egyptian society. From
the Arab Spring to the fall of Mubarak, until the establishment of the
Islamic dictatorship democratic way Mursi has returned early to the
military dictatorship of Al Sisi, built on the model of that of Mubarak,
but even more violent and repressive. What
is impressive are the modalities of violence, implemented with
increasing vigor and in front of an international public opinion
incapable of substantial enforcement actions, for fear of a new
statement of the power of the Islamists. This
is the central fact which prevents an international scenario appalled
by the repression of the government of Cairo, to implement the required
actions, such as sanctions, to stop the repressive practices; on
the other hand it is precisely this factor that Al Sisi bases its
methods and its impunity, however, the growing dissatisfaction of the
Egyptian people, based on economic reasons, as well as policies, seems
to be going towards the conditions that led to the fall of Mubarak, with a tragic replica of what has been seen. If,
on the one hand, it is also true that the army continues to be the
dominant force in the country, including in the areas of the armed
forces they would be emerging concerns related to growing distrust of
large sectors of the international scene, who are beginning to wonder
what evil the lower of the repression of Al Sisi and the possible return of the Islamists. In
reality, a way out could be represented by an alliance of moderate
sectors of the armed forces with representatives of secular parties,
too, for now, the object of repression. Should
be noted that, while not sharing the methods of the present government,
practiced against the Muslim Brotherhood, who had established a
religious dictatorship, the secular forces had initially partially
supported Al Sisi, hoping to bring the country to a democratic pluralism
that He did not have the influence of the Islamists, but not even the military. In other words Al Sisi was seen as a sort of essential to a democratic evolution of Egypt. Representatives
of democratic parties have realized the error of assessment made soon
towards the general, who wanted to establish a military dictatorship in
which concentrated much of the state power. The
facade offers Al Sisi, promptly rejected by the Democrats, they have
determined their official departure from political life, placing
outlawed all parties. From
the international point of view, we have seen, that the regime exploits
the Western fear of the Islamists, although this view is not so
obvious, but from the point of view inside the government does not
factors equally convincing to quell popular discontent. A
dictatorship is already difficult to bear with positive economic
conditions, but the situation in Egypt, from this point of view, such
records to be very worrying time low for that organization shall ensure
control of the home front, moreover, exacerbated by corruption levels
ever recorded higher and that concerns the holders of power at all levels. This
explains an incessant use of propaganda to which few believe again and
the use of a repression without restraint, hitting opponents and
journalists, both Egyptians and foreigners. These
days the cases of disappearance of activists and opponents of the
regime seem increased, making it an indirect proof of the responsibility
for the death of the Italian researcher, engaged in an analysis of the
trade unions in the country, which continue to be a potential subject
contrast to the regime. In
this framework the Al Sisi faithful are becoming a minority, still
substantial, but declining, which stood first of all in the military,
but also in the more affluent classes of the country, the same who
enjoyed privileges in the days of Mubarak however
the growing social pressure of less fortunate classes, denotes an
attitude of hopelessness of the situation in the country, which does not
seem to decrease power, but it is indeed going to increase. It
is a very indicative signal for Al Sisi, you should remember what
happened to Mubarak, to try to change their way of governing, if it is
not too late, conversely the future of the Egyptian general seems to be
sealed, and this could open in
the country too disturbing scenarios for the international
repercussions to be neglected by the Western powers and the United
Nations itself, which should work towards a smooth transition and guided
to avoid further violence in a key nation of regional balance.
