The Government of Dr Beblawi resigned on Monday, 24/2/2014 CE, without offering reasons for its resignation except its utter failure in the face of the country’s economic crisis, and the sharp rise in prices and the resulting protests and factional strikes; not to mention the aggravation of the crisis of electricity and gas.
On the second day of the government’s resignation, the temporary President, Advisor Adli Mansour, has assigned the engineer Ibrahim Mahlab as the new prime minister; he is one of the most prominent faces of the dissolved National Democratic Party and the second man in the Policy Committee which was headed by Gamal Mubarak. The newly assigned Prime Minister said in his first press release, that the fight against terrorism is a top priority for his government; which predicts an early failure for his government before it starts, because the government that preceded it was preoccupied with security and the fight against so-called terrorism and it was its prime concern too; but it had failed to materialize. It also failed miserably in the management of all the important files that relate to the concerns of the ordinary citizen, instead it was the reason for the increase in their daily suffering as a result of unprecedented rise in prices, increased inflation, and constant power shortages.
Despite that, there is almost a consensus on the involvement of the appointed Prime Minister in corruption cases under the rule of the ousted Mubarak, as he was the one who sacked the president of the Arab Contractors Company Osama al-Husseini after he testified that the army aircrafts torched the administrative headquarters of the company in Ramses Square during the shooting of protesters on 16/8/2013 CE. Despite that, Dr Makhioon, Chairman of the Nour Salafi Party said in the telephone interview on MBC Egypt channel, that he was the first to demand the appointment of Mahlab as prime minister, adding that “his history is honorable.”
The sincere ones among this Ummah have no choice but to stand against this regime, which was forcefully imposed onto the Ummah. Its previous government and those that preceded it and the ones that will follow are only concerned with fighting the Dawah carriers of this Ummah under the pretext of fighting terrorism, while neglecting to care for the affairs of the Ummah according to the true rulings of Shar’ and spending sleepless nights to ensure fulfillment of the basic needs of every member of its citizens and enable them to satisfy their luxury needs as stipulated by Islam. The genuine welfare will only occur under the shade of the Khilafah system prescribed to us by the Lord of the Worlds. O Muslims, we call you to work for its establishment and to remove all tyrannical regimes that do not rule by what Allah has revealed.
يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ
“O you who believe! Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls you to what will bring you to life!”
