CONCLUSION

Farewell, President Al-Sisi! 

Firstly: about Al-Sisi and the Middle East tyrants:

1- Any ruler (sultan or president) is temporary in existence; he is bound to leave it and step down sooner or later within his lifetime or by death. This applies to all rulers, democratic or tyrant, despot or just; he is bound to become later on part of the past; part of history and people' judgment on him: "He was so and so and such and such!"

2- In real democracies if one defames an unknown person in public, one might get imprisoned, but one is free to criticize and verbally abuse anyone in public service, from the presidents, policemen, judges, Deputy Generals, to the governors of cities/governorates/states. No one in public service is immune to verbal abuses and criticism. The exact opposite takes place in the countries of the Muhammadans; one is imprisoned if dared to criticize rulers and their cones and juntas. Yet, one is free to verbally abuse and harm unknown poor powerless people! In Egypt, some powerful ones used to do their best to terrorize us, by accusing us of being a traitor, an apostate, a renegade, a spy who aimed to wreak havoc and earned money from external bodies from foreign countries, though at the time we were broke and had no bank accounts at all. We heeded not the advice of some friends to litigate those who abused us verbally in the press, lest we might get imprisoned for getting nearer to the untouchables! They think of themselves as demi-gods or deities and no one dares to criticize them; otherwise, this is punishable by imprisonment/torture. Within the Quran, we know that all human beings commit mistakes and errors, even prophets and messengers of God. The untouchables of Egypt seem to place themselves above prophets! That is why criticisms of them begin ONLY after their death or after they stepped down from power and authority. They like those who praise, laud, and glorify their imaginary or real deeds and words! They like people to deify, adore, and worship them! Later on, once they step down, they are at once cursed, verbally abused, and humiliated.

Secondly:

1- Within less than one year, Al-Sisi is seen now as a new tyrant in the list; after sweet words and religious terms in speeches, he shows now his power and tyranny to restore Mubarak-like military-rule oppression and injustice.

2- Mubarak stole billions of money within his family members and cronies, but Al-Sisi has made the military rule men confiscate all political and economic aspects in Egyptian life in all fields. It is as if the military men occupy Egyptian lands! They take any stretch of land almost for free to be used in any projects; oppositional figures who are vociferous are thrown to jail. The hungry citizens cannot dare to ask about such blundering and thievery within this military empire, where military men confiscate and monopolize all! No one dares to ask military men about huge profits of such projects and deals, nor about external financial aids and commissions and budgets…etc. otherwise, one is incarcerated.

3- After looting of Egypt for more than 30 years, it needs immediate reform on all levels as we have discussed above. Yet military tyrants since Nasser to Al-Sisi never allowed this reform to take place. Al-Sisi is clever in using sweet words in his speeches to dupe the masses; nothing new under the sun is happening. Oppression, suppression, tyranny, injustice, and violation of human rights occur daily with impunity. We fear that Al-Sisi is worse than Mubarak in many respects.

Secondly: the solution:

1- The 2011 revolt in Egypt led the military rule men allow the terrorist MB to rule, using rigged elections, to expose them as a shame failure of an alternative. Later on, military rule men returned with a vengeance; they have punished all revolutionary youths and gripped all authority with iron hands. Long-term economic projects are not enough; they are to distract people, and the margin of criticism and free expression is narrowed within certain limits. Atrocities and violations and transgressions of policemen returned with more vigor and force to terrorize people! Loans and grants and financial aids would never help economy in the long run; inflation and soaring prices are suffered by millions of impecunious helpless citizens. The profiteering class contains the wealthy, filthily-rich, and affluent ones who maintain the status quo to their advantage. We have predicted a revolt in 2012, and we predict another one sooner than everyone expects. Signs of it loom on the horizon.

2- Democratic transition in Egypt would never be worse than what occurred in Europe within long decades of struggle. Let us cite the example of France. The French revolution (1789-1799) and beheading of Louis XVI resulted in the tyranny and terror of the Jacobites (who were similar to the terrorist MB in tyranny, bloodshed, and bovine stupidity). Later on, Napoleon emerged as a tyrant emperor in 1804 and he fell in 1818. The Bourbons Dynast came along to rule from 1815 to 1830; Talleyrand (1754:1838), the French leader and politician, said that they never learnt anything or forget anything! After long decades of struggle, France achieved a veneer of democracy within the second republic within Napoleon III who ruled as a president from 1848 to 1852 and as an emperor from 1852 to 1870. Real democracy took place in the fifth republic within Charles De Gaulle (1959:1969). Hence, decades of struggle resulted in real democracy within a presidential system or regime eventually.

3- Egypt requires reform in education to inculcate democratic culture to replace the deep-rooted (since 1971) Wahabi tyrannical culture. This would happen soon enough thanks to scientific advancement in communications and the internet; Egypt requires democratic transition as soon as possible, in spite of tyrants.

4-In Egypt, we have written repeatedly that reform should begin within heads of authority and power; we were persecuted at the time. Now, we realize that corrupt authority can never apply any real reliable reform of any type. The corrupt people can never do anything good or correct; they want to maintain the status quo to preserve their might, power, and wealth of ill-gotten money. We meant by our words then to embarrass and expose the Mubarak regime and to incite the vast majority of silent afraid people to stand up for their rights at whatever cost or sacrifices. Egyptians must call for their rights for decent living standards. Yet, tyranny has been restored in a new manner after two people revolts in 2011 and 2013; we blame the members of the cultural elite who laud, praise, and eulogize the tyrant and the powerful! Reform can never be done or called for by such hypocritical elite; Egypt needs the reform calls done by real human rights activists and the really cultured free thinkers to be united in one struggle to achieve social, political, economic, and legislative justice as well as to ensure freedom of thinking, creed, expression, etc. and the enlightened learned ones must unite and struggle to expose sham thinkers affiliated with tyrants, so as to achieve democratic transition with least number of victims and least period of suffering.

5- Retreating from such a role in such critical times is deemed high treason against Egypt; really cultured and learned men and women of thought should cringe at lauding and singing the praises of any existing regime or tyrants. All of us must heed this divine warning in the Quran: "And do not incline towards the unjust, or the Hell-Fire may touch you; and you will have no protectors besides God, and you will not be saved." (11:113). Hence, those who aid tyrants will be humiliated and despised by people and punished by God in the Hereafter in Hell.

Lastly:

1- We lived during the era of Nasser, worshipping him as leader until his fall in 1967. We have witnessed Sadat destroying Egypt and kneeling to the USA and KSA. We have suffered persecution by Mubarak and his cronies. We are about to depart from this transient world and die, while Al-Sisi who comes after our decades of writings that have aimed at reformation on all levels seems bent on letting us down. We have written this book as witness to this era before we die. We cannot wait or rely on false hopes hinged on Al-Sisi. We hope we would not write about him again. We care no longer for him. No one changes after the age of 60. Al-Sisi is no exception to this rule. We have exposed all crimes done in his first year of rule here in this book. Al-Sisi served under Mubarak; let us remember that to know that he can never undertake any reform measures at all. Al-Sisi has set free all jailed cronies of Mubarak and incarcerated revolting youths of 2011. He is worse than Mubarak in our opinion, and he would be continuing the Mubarak legacy of oppression and suppression and persecution. He is more cunning and shrewder than Mubarak. He can never be a reformer one day.

Good-bye, Mr. President, until we meet before the Eternal Judge in the Hereafter!

NOTE:

This is the last time – hopefully – we would write about Al-Sisi, who would never, we presume, pay heed to this book of warning and pieces of advice for the sake of Egypt. Yet, generations emerging after our death, and with the passage of time, they might read this book about history of Al-Sisi and say: "he was so and so, and such and such"
