CAR – France Illegal Invasion Along With AU And UN Intervention Exacerbate Crises
January 18, 2014
By Padmini Arhant
The unnecessary communal clashes between Muslims and Christians in Central African Republic has provided false pretexts for former colonial power France to invade the nation enriched in mineral resources with UNSC authorizing African Union and UN troops presence in the war torn country.
Since France illegal intervention in Central African Republic on December 5, 2013 similar to operation in West African Mali and North African Libya in 2012 and 2011 respectively, the situation in foreign powers invaded states has deteriorated contributing to humanitarian crises and political turmoil.
Yet the western proposal to deploy more military personnel continues with EU now considering sending 1000 forces to Central African Republic to foment further violence.
The imperial agenda to militarize African continent claiming to restore law and order proved catastrophic at national and regional level notwithstanding destabilization justified as democratic means creating chaos and confusion wherever and whenever possible.
Central African Republic in semblance with neighboring states has invited problems prompting foreign interference rather than seeking reconciliation within setting aside political and religious differences in entire population interest.
The Seleka fighters having ousted former President Francois Bozize and President Michel Djotodia recent resignation evidently promote colonial aspirations declaring CAR – failed state in the inability to end externalized internal conflict.
Any nation dealing with bloodshed from sectarianism and ethnic confrontations need to prohibit weapons supply to rebels, militias and terror networks while adopting non-violence strategy for resolution with legitimate opposition unlike foreign backed disingenuous representation.
The doctrine to settle disputes among tribes, minority and majority segments with foreign aggression involving military outfits and air raids designed to favor prominent powers defense industry vying to escalate tensions in war ravaged nations through constant flow of arms and ammunitions to all sides in the form of generous military aid.
Central African Republic Parliament preparing to elect transitional leadership exercising diligence in choosing interim government pledged to national unity could be instrumental in averting foreign occupation.
The prolonged combat attributed to rising death toll and massive displacement of people fleeing villages and towns in the ongoing unrest.
The trend to subjugate nations cares less about civilian casualties and human suffering resulting from foreign intrusion espousing dominance for unlimited access to natural endowments.
Central African Republic infighting obviously facilitates foreign expansionism leading to surrender of sovereignty.
Instead members from Muslim, Christian and other denominations recognition of national strength remaining in solidarity and accordingly unanimous agreement to disavow hostility amongst them could be the preliminary step towards saving lives that in return would guarantee peace and stability.
The political system demonstrating sincere commitment to citizens’ safety and improving economic conditions utilizing national wealth could deter domestic and foreign threats to topple governments engaged in positive development.
Corruption being integral part of dysfunctional political performance, earnest measures introducing transparency and accountability without exception is fundamental to initiate and implement reforms across the spectrum.
Again political disturbance often emanating from parallel powers quest for global control could be thwarted identifying elements responsible for disruption and appropriate approach to prevent precedence in the near future.
The people in North Central African country – CAR deserve peaceful existence with national potential to alleviate poverty, hunger and various economic as well as social woes that are self-inflicted allowing foreign imposition of rules undermining independent status.
Best Wishes to Central African Republic in overcoming challenges with unified resolve and acceptance of national diversity as an asset not liability in republic empowerment.
Peace and Prosperity to Central African Republic!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

South Sudan – Internal Conflict With External Influence
December 18, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The ongoing clashes among Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) rivals in Jonglei state capital Bor military camp resulting in 19 civilian casualties and an estimated 500 deaths along with 13,000 or more forced to flee the town is regrettable and those behind the violence bear responsibility.
Political disagreements cannot be resolved through innocent bloodshed and disputes are to be settled via communication and peaceful negotiations rather than targeting citizens of the country.
President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar demonstrating leaderships by advising respective troops, political groups and loyalists to refrain from violent confrontations could restore relative calm and stability to the volatile situation.
Any major political differences and concerns over national issues like widespread corruption and economic problems exchanged in people assembly following appropriate procedures would be productive and perhaps lead to positive outcome sparing population and nation from spiraling turmoil.
The former deputy Riek Machar militarily challenging incumbent leader Salva Kiir evidently threatens national security not to mention the humanitarian suffering involving members of both ethnicity i.e. Nuer and Dinka representing the two leaders in the burgeoning crises.
South Sudan constant engagement in warfare deprives people the opportunity to experience freedom and the nation from economic growth despite the oil resources in possession.
Political ambitions to claim or remain in power do not guarantee self-satisfaction especially when the strategy is premised on undemocratic militaristic course with citizens forced to pay the price.
Moreover, such government formation would have difficulty winning public trust and confidence due to lack of credibility reflective in the means to accomplish goals.
The external influence in the conflict could not be ruled out conforming to the contemporary trend fomenting political chaos to facilitate weapons supply to all sides until eventual destabilization.
President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar as well as SPLA commanders are urged to renounce fighting and instead return to civil discourse exemplifying sincere commitment to citizens safety and national interest.
The contenders vying for office could always prove eligibility utilizing the democratic process with electoral mandate confirming legitimacy unlike the prevalent measures to seize authority.
South Sudan leaderships and warring factions reconciliation is critical ending the internal unrest to maintain law and order with national defense force safeguarding territorial integrity and citizens safety.
President Salva Kiir administration and opposition leader Riek Machar collective efforts diffusing tensions in the troubled areas of the country could prevent escalation nationwide.
South Sudan cannot afford to evolve into Darfur and peaceful resolution is the only alternative to save the nation from civil war.
With condolences to bereaved families and prayers for the victims affected in the recent setbacks,
Wishing people in South Sudan peace and recovery from deteriorating political condition.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

South Africa – Tribute to Leader Nelson Mandela
December 6, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Heartfelt Condolences to the family and citizens in South Africa on the passing away of South African leader and former President Nelson Mandela.
South Africa like the rest of the nations in the continent and the world under colonialism experienced slavery and discrimination denying the population life with dignity.
During the foreign rule in the mineral especially diamond rich nation, the occupiers treated natives with bias depriving them the right to exist let alone have fair opportunity in their homeland.
South Africa then became the epitome of apartheid with segregation and subjugation policy.
Whenever atrocities and crimes against innocent citizens reach optimum the end result leads to aggressors’ exit or authoritarianism expiration.
The foreign rulers human rights violation and violence creating hostile environment for locals stoke national sentiments to protect individual and society from further abuse.
Synonymous to most colonized nations, South Africa needed strong leadership and a patriot to inspire compatriots to rise to the occasion and free the nation from status quo.
These qualities along with deep concern for social equality and justice were the fine attributes of the leader Nelson Mandela remaining steadfast in the freedom struggle including imprisonment lasting nearly three decades not without hardships and extreme conditions exemplified dedication to just cause.
The influence of Mahatma Gandhi – the non-violence and civil disobedience pioneer eloquently protesting apartheid in South Africa promoted peaceful movement against injustice and with South Africa’s leader Nelson Mandela adopting peace in the relentless pursuit for independence led to foreign occupation conclusion.
South African leader and the first democratically elected President Nelson Mandela will be remembered for extraordinary contributions in the liberation of the country and people challenged with prejudice and disenfranchisement under foreign authority.
The former President Nelson Mandela as the leader continues to be the indomitable spirit in reviving hope to the oppressed and marginalized being the vast majority across the globe.
May God Bless the departed leader’s soul to rest in peace.
Peace to South Africa!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Egypt – Peaceful Reconciliation in National Interest
August 18, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The latest development in Egypt with army decision to exercise restraint in crowd dispersal operations and Muslim Brotherhood leaders on their part to cancel nationwide demonstrations for security reasons is the way forward to extinguish fire ignited in the burgeoning crises.
Egypt was unnecessarily subjected to turmoil otherwise averted sparing innocent lives all around.
Nonetheless national reconciliation forum inviting all groups for constructive participation could produce viable outcome.
The key factors are transparency and inclusivity facilitating people choices in governance barring external interventions reflected in status quo would prevent event recurrence.
Public referendum on electoral process and constitutional framework prohibiting abuse of power in all branches of government including army interception in civilian rule is the preliminary step towards preserving democracy.
Egypt citizens have suffered enough and now is the time for leaderships in the army, political system and civil society to create opportunity via peaceful engagement in rebuilding the nation long deprived of economic growth and development.
The arduous journey faced with obstacles due to foreign and regional control could lead to destination i.e. republic governed democracy upon Egypt exercising self-determination rights that is inalienable to all citizens on earth.
National subjugation by foreign powers happens with complicity among members in position of authority.
However, the tradition need not continue considering negative consequences from such cooperation hindering real progress.
Instead the leaderships pledging to defend sovereignty along with sincere commitment exemplified in resolving issues prioritizing national interest would guarantee prospective future.
Egypt population deserves breakthrough from violence and political impasse posing impediments in the path to peace and functioning democracy representing all in the country rather than selective majority.
The solutions to problems lie in sharing common goals with mutual respect and understanding that could ease tensions necessary for general consensus on national policy such as constitution amendment, political and economic reform as well as social inequality.
Egypt modern civilization has great potentiality to implement changes and achievements made possible only through peaceful means allowing diverse ideas to strengthen democratic foundation.
Once again, the leaders across the spectrum are urged to disavow counterproductive strategies, renounce violence and adopt peace initiatives for multidimensional recovery.
Wishing Egypt citizens and leaders success in restoring calm and stability critical for national endeavors.
Peace to Egypt!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Egypt – Peaceful Resolution To Political Crises Save Lives And Restore Stability
August 14, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The casualties reported in recent clashes between pro Morsi supporters and security personnel are regrettable and evidently not in Egypt interest.
Prolonging stalemate unnecessarily foment violence and discord that could otherwise be ended with agreement on national reconciliation forum.
The western and regional powers funded and manufactured confrontation is yet another display of anti-peace strategy embarked on favoring sectarianism over secularism using religion as means to polarize society.
United States appointment of ambassador Robert Ford to Egypt perceived counterproductive and clarifies ongoing unrest considering the emissary trajectory in deployment of death squads in disguise to create rivalry and escalate tensions among groups in the western orchestrated destabilization agenda.
Egypt leaderships in the interim administration and Muslim Brotherhood are obligatory to avert foreign exploitation of political standoff the nation could do without to save lives and lead the country towards civil engagement.
Any reluctance to amicable settlement would prove the parties loyalty to sources behind destruction of the state for hegemonic goals with loyalists abandoned later upon achievement.
The immediate priority to prevent bloodshed is to identify the terror agents working on foreign forces behalf and apprehending them for investigation and lawful action.
Both sides bear responsibility to disavow ties with national foes fostering chaos and carnage for undue advantage aimed at further subjugation of people.
The current situation provides opportunity to external and internal elements against Egyptian liberation holding the entire population hostage to political crises.
Western leaderships in partnership with dictatorial regimes sponsor governments amenable to proxy governance implementing hegemony policies in domestic and foreign affairs.
United States at Israel’s behest authorized Egypt military SCAF to assume power in 2011 post Mubarak ouster and introduced then Presidential candidate Mohamed Morsi representing Muslim Brotherhood as the viable choice in the so-called democratic election held amid violent crackdown limiting the possibility for suitable options in the first electoral process.
Subsequently the nation submerged in continuous turmoil with ex-President Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood failure to address security problems and political reform.
The government inefficiency prompted peaceful demonstration demanding effective measures on core issues confronting the nation.
The deposed Morsi administration lack of remedial response to burgeoning political and economic challenges combined with misplaced priority to recruit Takfiris in terrorism against Syria essentially led to status quo conforming to Unites States and allies stratagem.
The caretaker government under SCAF and former President Morsi represented Muslim Brotherhood aided and promoted by United States espouse doctrine not necessarily in Egypt benefit.
Egypt belongs to all Egyptians regardless of individual identity and accordingly fair political representation imperative to alleviate legitimate public concerns on relevant issues unlike foreign introduced or aligned factions emergence seizing opportunistic moment to mantle of power having not participated in overthrow of oppressive Mubarak rule or delivering justice to victims of persecution.
Egypt in solidarity rejecting outside intervention in sovereign matter and exercising self-determination rights is the way forward to establish republic governed democracy devoid of militarism and fundamentalism.
Any political groups and entities declining peace and constructive discourse to bring hostility to conclusion obviously not pledged to national service.
The leaders on all sides are urged to set aside differences and grievances with a determination to heal the nation and enable multidimensional recovery.
Patriotism best demonstrated in defending not compromising national sovereignty.
Best Wishes to Egypt citizens across the spectrum for a successful political outcome encompassing the needs of nation at large.
Peace to Egypt!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Egypt – Crises Resolution For Republic Rule
August 10, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The former President Morsi supporters ongoing sit in protests contributing to political impasse rather than ending the dispute.
In the western and regional partners manufactured Egypt crises,
The clear intentions are to prolong unrest and deny Egyptians self-determination rights to their political future.
The western powers – United States, Britain, Israel and EU along with regional allies Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and Turkey interventional policies serving respective vested interests care less about Egypt citizens and more about reining control over North Africa and Middle East.
Israel using United States taxpayers funded annual aid $1.5 billion to Egypt military keen on preserving Camp David accord whereby Egypt expected to remain subservient and continue subsidized gas supply to Israel at Egyptians expense.
Additionally cooperation with Israel in maintaining Gaza fortress blocking passage on Rafah crossing to beleaguered Palestinians across Sinai Peninsula is enforced with instigated violence and terror attacks on Egypt soldiers and security personnel.
United States obstinacy to proceed with controversial military assistance i.e. $1.5 billion to Egypt at American families costs considers the quid pro quo convenient to usurp power in the region.
Britain as the imperial relic having introduced Muslim Brotherhood to scuttle democratic aspirations favors proxy governance under the guise of democracy or alternatively military appointed administration protecting western engineered coup d’état leaving the nation in eternal turmoil.
EU positioning as intermediary between Egypt military SCAF and ousted President Morsi essentially fulfilling hegemony demands on strategic dominance despite EU failure to resolve myriad problems confronting Europe.
Meanwhile, Arab states like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Turkey striving to defend oppressive rule in their domain offer generous monetary contributions as incentives including suggestions to prevent functioning and meaningful democracy in Egypt.
The false propaganda on secularism alluding to Zionism, imperialism and affiliates concept requires clarification due to political factions deliberate misuse of the term secular circumventing concerted efforts to destabilize target nations.
The fact of the matter is anti-secularism among forces espousing specific political and religious agenda perhaps the binding factor in stifling republic governance in Egypt and elsewhere.
The commonality between Zionism accused of Judaization of Palestine and similarly those propagating Islamization of nations and territories is they share hegemonic goals geared towards polarization and stratagems premised on subversion with religion as means for authoritarianism.
Although the two identical groups superficially poised at odds against each other, the striking resemblance in approach to undermine secular states pose imminent threat to peace and security anywhere.
The religious dogma and imperialistic quest together have two choices for people seeking democracy and political freedom and they are fundamentalism tied to religious doctrine in contrast with original teachings of sacred texts and the other being institutionalized politics dictating rule of law to suit ambitions at national detriment.
As a result, the dichotomy of heterogeneous society represented across the spectrum and the so-called republic comprising majority and disenfranchised demography pave way for unrest related to social injustice and human rights violation.
Evidently the latter provides plutocracy and theocracy opportunity to deprive citizens the real democracy through self-governance.
Egypt regardless of religious composition endures oppression under plutocratic maneuvers deploying militaristic and fundamentalist tactics and,
Arguably deserves government pledged to serve all transcending barriers and most importantly courageous enough to stand up to sources behind political mayhem and reject ideology driven representation creating a wedge in society.
Pro- Morsi camp stalling governance and economic activity exacerbates Egyptian suffering in the uncompromising stance apparently beneficial to national foes and not the nation at large.
Instead the participation in national reconciliation forum with a referendum from Egypt electorate on political reform barring regional and foreign interference would demonstrate patriotism and true commitment to the nation.
The interim government bears responsibility in restoring calm and stability by refraining from use of force in crowd dispersal techniques that otherwise perpetuates stalemate.
Egypt political destiny is to be decided by entire country and dependent on citizens’ willingness to move forward in solidarity with national liberation from status quo as the foremost priority.
Best wishes to Egypt citizens in reclaiming sovereignty and establishment of people power leaving behind none in progress and prosperity.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

International Political Event – Presidential Election And Inauguration
August 4, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Pakistan – Presidential Election
Congratulations! To President Mamnoon Hussain elected to represent Pakistan.
Pakistan’s democratic experience is not without trials and tribulations especially post election resulting in political factions dissatisfaction with electoral process.
Pakistan stability is linked with containing violence emanating from terror networks and anti-democratic forces funding Takfiri elements aimed at national and regional destabilization.
The leadership commitment in ending United States drone strikes producing civilian casualties would determine public trust on the incumbent power.
Upon eliminating militancy and extremism premised on fundamentalism, sectarian clashes and cross border terrorism could perhaps be laid to rest.
Pakistan uphill battles comprise combating corruption and recovery of national income held in overseas bank accounts through tax evasion.
Additionally, building economy to improve living conditions is not unique to Pakistan.
However, the political dynamics with foreign interference under the guise of military aid hinder economic revival.
Hopefully the current government headed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Mamnoon Hussain would introduce effective strategies to redress burgeoning violence restoring calmness and peace necessary to reach milestones in national goals.
Wishing Pakistan citizens and President Mamnoon Hussain dawn of peace and tranquility.

Iran – Presidential Inauguration
Iran – Congratulations! To President Hassan Rohani on the Presidential inauguration as 7th President of Iran.
Under the newly elected Presidency, the Iranian electorate choice for reformist candidacy over others is a mandate for moderation.
The voters’ aspirations to evolve and emerge from constraints and convictions are dependent on developments in the near future.
United States and EU unlawful sanctions exacerbates mainstream normal existence with access to medicines and other essentials restricted due to financial blockade disabling payments processing and transaction facility for free flow of trade in international market.
The unilateral western decisions lacking in fairness and legitimacy unnecessarily targets innocent victims across the nation.
Nonetheless, Iranian resolve in enduring arbitrary rule is evident in efforts exploring options to overcome crises.
Inflation and higher unemployment draw attention amongst various challenges in the economic front.
In other areas of governance, the common problems shared worldwide such as corruption and mismanagement in different branches of government pose impediments to real progress.
With hopes and expectations, the nation looks forward to fresh beginning and optimism in domestic and foreign relations minimizing tensions for positive outcome.
Best Wishes to people of Iran and President Hassan Rohani in addressing issues of the nation.

Zimbabwe – Presidential Electoral Dispute
The re-election of ruling party Zanu – PF governed by long serving President Robert Mugabe once again contested by opponent Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The contender declining to concede in the latest national polls could be resolved in independent re-assessment of voting mechanisms with appropriate measures to avoid prolonged disputes now and later.
Despite previous experience in 2008, the top electoral official resignation in disapproval of existing polling method and inconsistency reveals the election commission lack of coordination and preparation.
Had inherent flaws been identified earlier and addressed effectively, the status quo might be different and any disagreements may not be related to voting irregularity.
Nevertheless, leaderships vying for power seeking amicable settlements could save lives with mass support behind peaceful reconciliation.
Zimbabwe leaders rational approach in national interest could deliver viable solution.
Good Luck! To Zimbabwe electorate and leaderships in finalizing political victory via communication and dialogue rather than confrontation.
Peace to all

Egypt – Ending Violence And Restoring Stability Paramount To Resolve Political Crises
July 29, 2013
By Padmihi Arhant
The ongoing clashes between the supporters and opponents of former President Mohamed Morsi in Egypt having claimed 150 lives and left 5200 wounded so far is deeply regrettable and against national interest.
The latest incident on July 27th in Nasr city of Cairo involving pro Morsi sit-in members and other factions resulting in 72 civilian deaths is tragic considering aggressive altercations impairs sensibility and rationale endangering lives all around.
Egypt is a mature nation with rich cultural heritage and civilization.
There is urgency for citizens to comprehend that local and foreign instigated unrest weakens national ability to focus on burgeoning issues confronting the nation.
Muslim Brotherhood led by ex-President Mohamed Morsi efforts to reverse political outcome at the expense of naive demonstrators more likely unaware of motives behind persistence clarifies misplaced priority and quest to remain in power regardless of such insistence proved in national jeopardy.
Simultaneously, the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) headed interim government initiatives to deal with protests would be effective in refraining from using any force or violent means that only exacerbates situation than otherwise.
Egypt revolution in 2011 accomplished general aspiration in removal of more than thirty years old authoritarianism and iron fist rule denying political rights, economic opportunity and social justice.
However, largely due to foreign power remaining in control over Egypt military and political establishment with United States $1.55 billion aid primarily for geopolitical dominance in the region,
Egypt independence struggle continues and could be gained in declining external interference through monetary and military assistance essentially facilitating western proxy governance to subjugate population.
Since Mubarak regime ouster in February 2011, United States directed administrations alternating between SCAF and Muslim Brotherhood or Islamist Salafi evidently not people choice representation with misuse of authority and failure to govern effectively by them.
Egypt like any other sovereign nation under foreign usurpation exercising self-determination rights in solidarity transcending barriers is the preliminary step towards liberation.
The current turmoil foments divisions among citizens despite similar experience in suffering and sharing same vision for republic rule.
Egyptians across the spectrum coming together in national spirit renouncing violence and pledging to resolve issues in harmony barring domestic and foreign elements counterproductive intrusion is the cornerstone for functioning and meaningful democracy.
Those who politicize events for personal and ideological advantage ignoring loss of lives and mislead the nation towards destruction violate public trust and do not represent national goals.
Egypt citizens seeking United States and other regional power like Saudi Arabia exit from national politics and defense management is critical in the freedom movement.
The consolidated action in changing governments at the national level with exterior sources retaining strong influence over whoever comes to power in the so-called democratically elected process is a losing battle and render martyred sacrifices in vain.
Having identified the root of the problems along with chief contributors and agents,
The people response is to forge national alliance rejecting anti-republic and anti-national infiltration from within or outside to move forward with republic governed political system.
Egypt mass has already demonstrated to this effect in January 2011 that delivered them victory with deposed Presidency of Hosni Mubarak and,
Subsequently the developments were maneuvered from powers abroad with regional collusion depriving Egyptian electorate the fundamental rights to self-governance in a democracy.
The immediate concern is to terminate bloodshed and restore security across the country.
When the nation is unduly subjected to political confrontations, the environment creates a perception of power vacuum and provides fodder for terrorism as witnessed in Sinai Peninsula spreading to the city square.
The caretaker government role is critical in adopting peaceful strategies such as delegating interior ministry to deploy peace corps rather than military personnel on the streets with a national forum organized to redress political grievances inviting diverse perspectives observing calmness and civility towards one another.
National defense forces commitment to citizens ‘safety and territorial integrity while being recipient of foreign military funding pose conflict of interests and undermine national sovereignty.
Egypt military solemn oath to defend the country intertwined with allegiance to foreign financiers of national institution stifle guaranteed protection.
Hence leaving behind such traditions that are contradictory to fulfilling sovereign duty would greatly improve defense command relations with newly elected civilian authority in the near future and beyond.
Notwithstanding the military transformation in this regard not only earn them national respect and confidence but also eliminate destabilization prospects from entities utilizing their investments for this purpose.
Likewise, the political organizations whether Muslim Brotherhood or al-Noor Salafi party espousing fragmentation and discord using religion as a platform subscribe to national foes agenda.
Besides imposition of Sharia law may be suitable to some even amongst majority but not necessarily to all in a society comprising other segments of different faith viz. Coptic Christians and alike.
The essence of democracy is civil liberty with choices for citizens devoid of state infringement.
The measure would generate tolerance and mutual understanding important to preserve national unity.
Muslim Brotherhood prolonging rallies apparently detrimental to their political survival and nation at large. The MB leaderships are urged to bring social disturbance to conclusion preventing further escalation of tension.
Egyptian discernment alongside promoting awareness in the region with limited access to information is the way forward in realizing common dreams for a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Wishing Egypt citizens unified strength for patriotism to overcome challenges with flying colors.
Peace to Egypt!
Peace to all
Thank you.

Egypt – Non-Violence Is the Way Forward For Peaceful Resolution
July 8, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
Egypt rising casualty in the ongoing unrest is regrettable.
The political factions and authorities bear responsibility in preventing violence that contributes to further chaos and confusion.
Reiterating the earlier statement published on this site – The violent clashes benefits only those exploiting current turmoil albeit manufactured by them since overthrow of Mubarak regime in 2011.
Egypt army, security personnel and political groups exercising restraint in the course of maintaining law and order is critical to avoid loss of lives on all sides for the situation could spiral out of control with pervasive impact.
Unfortunately the forces against resistance to imperialism, fundamentalism and militarism are striving hard in their deployment of tactics to mislead Egypt ignoring the nation’s rich civilization and citizens remarkable resilience to overcome domestic collusion in foreign instigated crises.
Egypt immediate priority is for all members to refrain from extending support to causes that are counterproductive.
The overt or covert foreign infiltration to stir problems is the trend and Egypt society discernment in this regard would be prudent to restore calm and stability.
Egypt status quo attributed to hegemony usurpation in the form of military aid and IMF plus GCC financial loans favoring imperialists and globalists’ agenda.
Hegemony reining control over Egypt dictating Israel’s policy in the North African country’s domestic and foreign matter ranging from political representation to opening Rafah crossing in Sinai Peninsula besides Muslim Brotherhood and former President Morsi promoting Takfiri elements within and in Syrian conflict is the underlining factor that needs to be addressed peacefully rejecting such dominance.
Evidently western and regional involvement in Egypt is to safeguard respective vested interests at the population expense.
Egypt true liberation is breaking away from influences aimed at installation of governments to serve plutocracy specifically the state of Israel’s aspirations in forcing Egypt political leadership to heavily subsidize gas supply to Israel at Egyptians costs depriving the vast majority fair economic opportunity.
Additionally denying Palestinians passage through Rafah crossing – the gateway to outside world for beleaguered Gaza residents enduring Israeli illegal blockade from 2007 until present time is unnecessary and hurting Egypt credibility.
The assault on Egypt army inflicting fatality or other terrorism heightened in the past twelve months leading to then President Morsi administration inhumane response – flooding the tunnels to Gaza for humanitarian supplies not excluding the use of explosives deserves careful review in determining the real beneficiary and that could not be Palestinians in Gaza considering they are the victims of Israel directed and implemented blocked access and embargo.
Nonetheless, Egypt military and intelligence alienated from civilian jurisdiction with United States investment facilitates external maneuvers jeopardizing national sovereignty and destiny.
United States taxpayer funded $1.3billion military assistance to Egypt is exclusively for Israel’s security even though nuclear armed Israel’s belligerence with western and Gulf States cooperation endangering Middle East peace and normal existence.
Egypt interim government preparedness to thwart imperialism and ideology driven concepts behind senseless killings is the preliminary step towards power transition.
The western and Saudi fielded candidacies or groups founded and set up to marginalize Egyptian electorate invalidating democratic process could be dealt with national referendum – overhauling political system highlighting corruption and prohibiting outside sources interference.
Egypt citizens possess enormous strength, courage and skills to steer the nation from hegemony notion that the state is not capable of self-governance without United States, Israel and Saudi or any other regional intrusion.
National unity and solidarity transcending barriers is key to success.
Hence those harboring Egypt’s decline to the point of no return continue to sow acrimony that could be redressed with republic participation in national reconciliation committee (NRC).
The people choice of local representatives with proven track record in national and public service across the spectrum inclusively barring any affiliation to powers offshore or nearby territory could attend (NRC) national reconciliation consortium.
NRC recognition of national woes and republic requests for government actions on diverse issues confronting them is the way forward to evolve from Egypt authoritarian rule to pluralism accommodating the needs of entire nation identifying every citizen as Egyptian and part of mainstream convergence.
Furthermore, transparency revealing the members profile and proposals at the national reconciliation committee (NRC) is paramount for public approval.
NRC criteria to meet republic will and democratic values quintessential in the political reform.
Upon receiving nationwide input via people nominees at NRC, the general consensus on core national problems could be sought for systematic resolution.
Egypt populism dismissal of detrimental political and economic enforcements reflects awareness based on harsh experience.
The renewed efforts solidified in renouncing violence with mutual respect for all and focused on reclaiming complete independence from hegemony and proxies utilizing self-determination rights would exemplify republic governance.
Meanwhile, Egypt military sovereign duty to provide citizens safety and defending territorial integrity would be apparent upon transformation from being hegemony fiduciary posing conflict of interests in national defense.
Egypt has tremendous potential to realize the dreams of vibrant democracy espousing acceptance and tolerance necessary for harmony that guarantees bountiful harvest shared amongst all leaving none behind in the economic and social progress.
Wishing Egypt amicable political settlements for national good now and beyond.
Peace to Egypt!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Egypt – Rejecting Political Opportunism As Leadership Key To Defend Sovereignty
July 6, 2013
By Padmini Arhant
The clashes between pro Morsi supporters and security forces as well as anti-Morsi groups having claimed many lives need to end enabling the nation to resolve political crisis in a peaceful environment.
Egypt is a mature nation with well-informed and fairly tolerant members in society.
Hence, deadly protests amongst various factions only exacerbate turmoil.
Egypt population use of weapons and likewise security personnel shooting is not helpful and contrarily flaring internal conflict.
There is an urgent requirement to renounce violence on all sides and return to civil engagement otherwise the unrest would only lead to more casualties depriving nation in addressing the current political situation.
Besides, unnecessary confrontation and chaos provides fodder for exploitation by entities within and outside the country affecting the entire nation at large.
Certain members having remained away from the country during former President Hosni Mubarak regime leaving people under tyranny promptly arrived on the scene after their long residency overseas upon seeing glimpses of hope in overthrowing western staunch ally Mubarak administration.
When Egypt revolution in January 2011 appeared promising in achieving Mubarak government ouster, some western favored personalities viz. Dr. Mohammad ElBaradei returned to Egypt posing to be strong opponent of Mubarak rule or recently against deposed President Mohamed Morsi.
Unfortunately, the reality is such figures prioritize their political ambition over national and public interest.
They seemingly aspire to clinch power as President of Egypt with preparedness to compromise national sovereignty, territorial integrity and self-determination rights of the people.
The newly emerged and rather selective group chosen opposition leader with strong western alliance evidently sworn allegiance to Tel Aviv and Washington – the former International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Mohammed ElBaradei behind the scenes political maneuver with eyes set on the mantle of power in the aftermath of national volatility cannot possibly be ignored considering the former UN official submission to satisfy Israel and United States demands in every respect essentially repeat national betrayal reminiscent of Mubarak and Morsi performance.
According to the latest article from American International lawyer Franklin Lamb in Beirut –titled
Obama Backing ElBaradei? published in almanar – Lebanese official news agency deserves Egypt and world attention – Thank you.
The previous IAEA Chief Mohammad ElBaradei hired Patton Boggs, the K Street, NW Washington DC law firm.
“Patton Boggs, the K Street, NW Washington DC law firm, which last year had 550 lawyers and 120 lobbyists and is arguably the firm closest to the White House and most likely to secure for its clients what they want from the approximately 5000 key decision makers in the US Capitol.
The other nearly 11,800 federally registered lobbyists in Washington (there were only 300 as recently as when Lyndon Johnson was US President) lag far behind Patton Boggs in terms of political influence.
Patton Boggs new client wants the Pentagon and the White House to squeeze Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) who deposed President Morsi and arrange for himself to be appointed the interim President of Egypt pending early elections.
What ElBaradei’s representatives are reportedly offering the White House in exchange for Obama’s discrete assistance, is that –
The 1979 Camp David Accord, including all its elements, will be observed.
In addition, Egypt under ElBaradei can be expected to toughen its stance on Iran’s nuclear program including publicly adjusting some of his pre-2012 comments on Iran that the White House and Israel criticized as being “soft on the Islamic Republic.”
Also being promised by ElBaradei’s agents is that security cooperation between Egypt and Israel will grow stronger. ElBaradei’s objective is to secure Barack Obama’s personal support during his jockeying for the expected forthcoming Egyptian presidential election.
Meanwhile, as of today, it appears that President Barack Obama may well help usher Mohammad ElBaradei into Egypt’s Presidential Palace.
If the Obama administration has success there will be joy in Tel Aviv, and at Patton Boggs’ victory party, where a good number of the invited guests will almost certainly be carefully vetted by AIPAC.”
These revelations and other scenario being Saudi backed al-Nour Salafist party as the second largest Islamist group replacing the recent Muslim Brotherhood led by former President Mohammed Morsi are the compelling reasons for Egyptian solidarity to thwart foreign and regional intervention aimed at indefinitely prolonging the status quo.
Regrettably those yearning for power do not seem to care for human suffering whether they are citizens in Egypt, Palestine or for that matter across the Middle East.
The concept of forming al-Nour Salafist party post Mubarak era in 2011 is interesting.
Hegemony with regional ally Saudi regime manufactured al-Nour political party set up to confuse Egypt electorate in 2011.
The recommendation on this website to consider Egypt then opposition leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour for representation in 2011 election subsequent to Mubarak power collapse misused by Saudi introduction of al-Nour faction in 2011 to mislead voters in the national electoral process allowing Salafists fundamentalism to gain second highest votes in 2011 amid violent military crackdown at that time.
Egypt citizens are urged to focus on domestic representative and real opposition leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour profile.
The formidable opponent Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour to former dictatorship President Hosni Mubarak was imprisoned for political dissidence from 2005 to 2009 and hospitalized for sustaining injury during peaceful protest in January 28, 2011.
The leader Ayman Abd El Aziz Nour committed to human rights, secularism and constitutional reform limiting Presidential powers including opening Presidential elections to multiple candidates.
People in Egypt would enormously benefit from choosing resident leader like Ayman Nour having exemplified loyalty to people through self-sacrifice and continue to pledge support for Egypt liberation.
Moreover there is distinctive commonality between leader Ayman Nour and Egyptian main street in several dimensions having been persecuted under Mubarak regime and participated in January 2011 political struggle could possibly relate to mainstream grievances on personal accounts.
Any other preferences for political leadership like ex-IAEA Chief Mohammed El Baradei with excess western exposure and regional power intimacy may not retain power based on personal guarantee to U.S. and Israel agenda resulting in destabilization within a short period in semblance with Muslim Brotherhood departure.
Whereas electing young vibrant leaderships such as Ayman Nour – national university law graduate with verifiable service to people would set precedence for future political aspirants considering significant youths likely to obtain higher education from within the country due to individual circumstances, financial factor and unique identity.
Egypt is at the crossroads having to rise to the occasion once again to choose real patriots and sincere leaderships from local to national level rejecting candidacies of political opportunism willing to surrender national independence to imperial power or fundamental ideology.
Wishing citizens in Egypt tranquility and smooth political transition in accordance with republic will.
Peace to Egypt!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
