ElBaradie New
Strategy…'Winning at all Cost'
by… Hossam ElShazly
The political seen in Egypt is reshaping and the new Egyptian President
is taking Egypt to another dimension. In this new ERA many international analysts
and politicians defined the situation as 'repositioning Egypt'; gaining back
its leading role in the Middle East, and appearing as an important player in
the world politics. From the UN legendary speech, to Gaza leading Peace role,
where landing on his strong vision and
acts aiming at freeing Egypt from the former regime corruption & dictatorship
roots effectively leading the country toward democracy and economic prosperity.
However, it turned out that Morsi's success on the international arena
and internal affairs as well as his rooted connection with majority of normal
Egyptians is not bringing happiness to the former Director of the IAEA, and the
international known figure; Mohamed ElBaradie.
ElBaradie who failed to record any kind of success through-out the
entire journey of Arab spring movements and particularly in the Egyptian
historic revolution and its aftermath is taking Morsi today as an enemy.
The man who first appeared on the CNN with a sincere call for change at
the time of Mubarak and was considered as an icon of new hope; became entirely
isolated after the revolution, lost most of his allies and supporters, did not
take part in any real political activity and assumed no responsibility in the formation
of the new government or parliament.
He always chooses to disappear when times are critical and refuses to
take any active part in the making of new Egypt. This fact is absolutely related to his
inability to build a wide acceptance among normal citizens in Egypt and among prominent
political figures; to the contrary he was seen always as one rejected figure in
the streets of Egypt. Egypt is a country of solid traditions and culture,
the type that does not appeal to ElBaradie way of life which painted by a
western color to its extreme roots. This was behind the fact that the man never
been seen as a future president or visionary leader in his homeland.
He was always successful in
acting like an alien to the Egyptian traditions and culture from the time he
defended his picture distributed widely on social networks
kissing Angelina Jolie, and awarding her an international award for her film which was not appreciated among Muslim community in
Egypt to his various statement about his
first Jew girlfriend, his memories in the
Irish Bar in NY and his believes about Islam, women and family obligations.
Nevertheless among all these signs of failure which led him to leave the
country on regular basis, he was able to inject a new hope among his supporters
by establishing his new political party ELDOSTOR ' the Constitution' Party. He
was able to gather some of the well known secular figures in Egypt and led them
toward the formation of a new opposition party. Even so, his role in his own
party was not quite defined and the party was officially declared at the time
he was abroad.
Recently and with the announcement of Morsi new decree acting to fight
corruption, bringing Justice to killers of more than 1000 Egyptians during the
25th January revolution, and freeing Egypt of its dictatorship and
corrupted institutions. ElBaradie
chooses to play a new strategy of 'Winning at all Cost'. Egypt Street was divided
between supporters of Morsi and opponents to his recent Decree, where remnant
figures of the old regime intensively invested in contracting criminals who attacked
the Freedom & Justice party offices (Majority elected party) around the country
burning documents and building, injuring civilians and spreading panic in Egypt
streets. Those ex-regime members with supporters of the dissolved NDP (Mubarak
party) in Egypt became very wealthy at the time of Mubarak via every illegal way
that brought Egypt economy to its Knees.
Today those NDP related figures took the chance and wear the
mask of the revolution demonstrating against the first elected President of
Egypt and trying to destabilize the country and stop its journey toward
democracy.
In addition to the fact that ElBaradie
was never successful in gathering majority of Egyptians around him, he also failed
to appear as strong figure among opposition leaders in the country who included
former Presidential candidates, political figures, and leaders of liberal and
secular parties in Egypt.
His initiatives and activities worked clearly against the objectives and dreams of the Egyptian revolution,
at a time trying to appeal to military rulers
to stay in power against the elected parliament
, appearing as a strong ally of USA and
the west with no limit , as well as positioning himself far away from Egyptians' traditions & culture . Today ElBaradie is
fighting his last war against not only Morsi, but also other prominent
opposition figures including Hamdin Sabahy, Ayman Nour and Amr Mousa trying
to 'Win at all Cost'. Appealing to the west to interfere in Egypt internal affairs
and using very critical statements about the 'Holocaust' in Germany with
objective to ignite the western world against Morsi government, He articulated
a stage of deception where prominent figures of the 25th revolution
stand shoulder by shoulder with remnant figures of Mubarak regime, where violence
is rewarded and truth is absent.
The
situation is embarrassing his supporters day after day, and diminishing their
chances of any future success in the next parliamentary and or presidential
elections. The man who once seen as a good replacement for Mubarak, today is losing
ground not only in Egypt, but also worldwide. Winning at all Cost is a strategy
that destroyed entire armies in old wars and may cost ElBaradie his political career,
and put an end to his political ambition in Egypt.
