President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said on Monday 2/5/2022that the army had received three direct threats from the Brotherhood group.
These remarks were made by Sisi during his participation in Eidul Fitr celebration held to honor families of the martyrs of police, army and medical teams at Al Manara International Conference Center.
One such threat was to late Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who, according to Sisi, had been warned that the group would “set the country ablaze” if Mohamed Morsy did not win the presidential election.
He also pointed to statements by Khairat el Shaater, in which he had referred to a previous attempt to set the HQs of the national security on fire.
Sisi said Shaater had, on a different occasion, threatened him himself that the group would sabotage the country.
The president said that over the past seven years he had only referred to them as the “people of evil” in order to give them a chance to retreat.
Sisi prayed to Allah to guide all Egyptians to what’s good for Egypt.
The president voiced thanks to the cast of “Al Ekhteyar” and “Aadoun” TV series, screened during the fasting month of Ramadan.
Commenting on the two series, Sisi said the two shows shed light on the heroics of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of Egypt.
“It is an opportunity on the day of Eidul Fitr to greet you and thank you,” Sisi said.
Moreover, Sisi said “Al Ekhteyar tackled facts. Every word in this work is a reality that was necessary to be truly narrated to the coming generations so as children of the martyrs be proud of what their parents had done.”
The events highlighted in the series were much less than the actual efforts exerted and are still being exerted in hard times of Egypt, the president added.
“We were keen that no clashes would occur, we did not assault or exercise tyranny, even when the statement of 2013 was delivered the words of “isolation of the president” or “terrorist group” were never mentioned.” Sisi said.
Addressing the families of the martyrs, Sisi said “Do not ever believe that your sons and husbands have fallen victims in a battle of tyranny”.
He called on Egyptians to preserve their country against the powers of evil.
