Dr. Hussām Issá, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Higher Education, declared the government will not accept any national reconciliation with a group practicing terrorism against the people - in reference to the Muslim Brotherhood. He pointed out that the deposed president's supporters are seeking to sabotage the country and cause sectarian strife. The minister stated: “What we witness in Egypt has made the security solution a necessity as this group does not have any national sentiments, they do not believe in dialogue. They only believe in the use of violence and weapons to achieve their goals.” The Deputy Prime Minister called upon the masses of the Egyptian people take part in protecting public and private property, churches, police stations, from the terrorism practiced by the Muslim Brotherhood (Jum’ah Hamdalah and Muhamad Fāris, al-Masry al-Yawm, Aug. 15). Read original text in Arabic.
