The Egyptian-Russian Courtship is but an Attempt to Pull the Wool over People’s Eyes.
America is pushing the Russians to Improve the Image of the New Regime and Stabilize the American Foothold in Egypt
Russian President Vladimir Putin in a telephone call conducted on Saturday 16/11/2013 with the Egyptian Interim President Adli Mansour said: “His country supports Egypt and the transitional administration, which represents the will of the Egyptian people in the wake of the 30th-June-Revolution.” The Russian Varyag Cruiser arrived at to the Alexandria port on Monday morning 11/11/2013 amid official reception of the Egyptian Navy with an all due military ceremony, followed by visits of the Russian Secretary of State and Defense Minister, Sergei Lavrov and Sergei Shoigu, respectively to Cairo on 13 and 14/11/2013. The Egyptian courtship of the Russians became clear in a statement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, who said in a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister: Russia “is not a substitute for anyone” in the international relations of Cairo because it is “bigger than that”.
Then on Thursday 14/11/2013 began the session of official Egyptian and Russian military talks between Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Minister of Defense and Military Production, and Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defense Minister, to discuss aspects of bilateral cooperation between the two countries, especially with regard to military cooperation. The spokeswoman of the U.S. State Department, Jen Psaki, avoided answering a question on the rumors about Egypt’s intention to sign a military agreements with Russia during the upcoming visit of the Russian delegation to Cairo, but stressed that the United States continue their efforts to support the Egyptian economy.
The generals of the putschist regime tried to portray the matter as an attempt of emancipation from American hegemony over Egypt, accompanied by applause and crows of the masses. We must all understand that the Russian movements in our region after the demise of the Soviet Union are movements in agreement and coordination with the United States and are simply a preamble to America. America is the one pushing the Russians to improve the image of the new regime to increase its stability, thereby settling American feet in Egypt.
We say: The Russian position in supporting the tyrant of ah-Sham is a well-known matter, as well as massacres against Muslims in the Caucasus, especially Chechnya, and the destruction of mosques in Kazan, and the arrest of the Imams in Tatarstan, even killing some of them as well as the arrest of the carriers of Islam. All this proves that Russia is an enemy to us just like America, which does not bring along any goodness. Applauding the Egyptian regime for this visit clearly demonstrates its indifference towards the issues of the Ummah and the matters of Islam and Muslims. It does not care but for the installation of its pillars and polishing its deformed, ugly image in front of people.
Russia, America, Britain and other Kufr countries do not care the least about the blood of the people of Egypt. They care about their interests, and only their interests. These countries do not seek to protect us, rather we see them trading with the blood of our brothers in Syria, morning and evening. All of these countries do not bring us except poison and venom. We will all find healing and relief for our hearts and our injuries by turning towards the application of Allah’s Shariah within the Khilafah system as enjoined by Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. Only the Khilafah will cut off the extremities of America and all Kufr countries not only from Egypt, but from all other Muslim countries.
