Confessions of ElBaradei

A democratic “nobel peace prize laureate” and former head of the UN-affiliated international atomic energy agency ElBaradei gave his first interview after his resignation from the post of the acting junta’s vice president of Egypt, in which he said “Mubarak’s regime still retains power in the country”.

“The ousted president Muhammad Mursi fell into a trap that was set up by conspirators, and Muslim Brotherhood helped them by making their own mistakes”, the democrat claimed.

ElBaradei became an interim junta’s vice president on July 3 after the military coup in Egypt. But later, after mass shooting of peaceful demonstrators in Cairo, which killed more than 1,500 people (according to other sources up to 4,500), and mild criticism of the junta from the west, he abandoned his post and left the country.

In a statement on recent events in Egypt that has been widely disseminated by the large number of democratic Arab newspapers, El-Baradei made some admissions.

Some groups in Egypt were quick to interpret the resignation of ElBaradei as an escape, to which “the former vice president” retorted:

“Egyptians do not know something. Namely, the fact that two years after the 2011 revolution, the Mubarak regime did not cease to reign in Egypt. And I found that the truth was on the side of Muhammad Mursi. After all, those who lured him into the trap, those who arranged artificial crises in the country, power outages, etc., cannot be called in other words but conspirators from the state within a state.

The Brotherhood in their naivety helped the Mubarak regime to successfully implement their plans. Because, at the right time, they have not sent Mursi on the path of making right decisions”, said ElBaradei.

“The first thing that Mursi had to do was to purify the court system. Because justice is the foundation of power. And for the transparency of the trial of the Mubarak regime, it was necessary to convene an extraordinary revolutionary court.

It was necessary to work with people in all areas and to eliminate elements of the old system. However, none of this was done.

The Mubarak regime (deep state within a state, consisting of the army, interior ministry, judiciary, press, America’s economy , “Israel” and some Arab countries), predicted Mursi victory in the election, and let him come to power.

However, they developed plans to overthrow him, to sabotage, and artificial crises. That was all prepared long before June 30. The movement “Tamarrud” knows what I’m talking about”.

ElBaradei continued: “I found out too late about their secret meetings in Madinat Al-Nasr (a district in Cairo), and the money that they received, and the forgery of signatures of the National Assembly – forgery and treachery, and so much more about it!

If the Brotherhood took necessary decisions in time, they would have been able to destroy all these plans of the conspirators”.

ElBaradei lamented that when the popular elected president Mursi declared a state of emergency, interior and defence ministries did not comply with the decision of the president. “But today the defense ministry proclaimed a state of emergency, use sharp ammunition, and this decision is implemented now”, said the democratic politician.

As for the money for the aid to Egypt from the Gulf, according to El-Baradei “there was no money from Arab countries, Mubarak just spent all the stolen money before”.

Another error of Muslim Brotherhood, according to El-Baradei, “was that they attacked with criticism their political opponents and the Arab regimes and insulted them. Even I got my fair share of it…

Unfortunately, the people of Egypt and Muslim Brotherhood were cheated, they were used as a means to successfully implement plans of the Mubarak’s regime. By this time, everyone has forgotten about the revolution of martyrs, killing of revolutionaries and their oppression.

After getting rid of the Brotherhood, according to the plan of the conspirators, all the murderers of revolutionaries during the January Revolution are now being acquitted”.

In addition, ElBaradei suggested that starting with the Salafi party Nur, all other religious and political parties in Egypt will be abolished.

Recall, that on September 19, a court of the Egypt’s military junta is to consider a lawsuit against ElBaradei, he is charged with “the breach of confidence, which resulted in his dismissal during the critical bloodshed.
