Egyptian “Rebel” Campaign Urges Egyptians To Rally On Friday

Egyptian Tamarrud (Rebel) campaign urged Wednesday all Egyptians to rally on Friday, in order to support the army in fighting the violence and terrorism, the campaign said in a statement on their facebook page.

It is worth mention that Egypt’s Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called on Egyptians to stage rallies on Friday 26 July to delegate power to him to face possible outbreaks of violence and terrorism.

“We have lived up to your expectations and achieved all you asked for. I ask all honest Egyptians to take to the streets this Friday to grant me the power to face potential violence and terrorism.”

Sisi called on all Egyptians to rally on Friday, saying that the army and the police will secure the rallies across Egypt.

In a speech he delivered on Wednesday at a military graduation ceremony, Sisi said, “I used to always tell the former president that the Egyptian army belongs to all Egyptians and that it is neutral towards all factions,” adding that he had told ousted President Mohamed Morsy that the army would stay under his own leadership.
