Dr. ElBaradei was attacked terribly during the referendum day where angry mob attacked him and attacked his supporters violently with rocks forcing him to leave without voting. The attack was terrible and disgraceful by all measures. When I see the photos and videos I thank God that no one was harmed especially Dr. ElBaradei
In matter of two hours the Salafists and the MB were the main suspects while all the photos , videos and testimonies later came we find that we are in front of a classical attack of hired thugs hired by NDP who turned the people of that populated area against him. Some people from the area say that these thugs were outside the area. Other swear that they look like the same thugs we have always seen working for NDP in the elections.
Already based from the videos I saw those who hurled the rocks at ElBaradei did not look like Salafists or Islamists to me.
This vide from Dostor News shows a lawyer from the locals saying that those thugs were from the follower of the NDP and they know them already. The report from Dostor News shows more testimonies.
Activist and singer Fayrouz Karawya described what happened , of course she is sad and angry , she has to. Every time I see the videos I feel so angry and sad like her. According to her suddenly the ‘We do not want you’ group appeared when the man showed up and stood in a queue with famous calm smile and sooner rocks began to hurl at him and his group. From Karawya’s note you will see that the group of ElBaradei tried to understand why the people were angry from him and what they have found was actually the result of the Mubarak’s propaganda machine.
Unfortunately you must know that the image of Dr. ElBaradei is so distorted among the working and poor classes. From day to day conversation I found that many people from these classes believe all the lies about him spread by the former regime. False claims like “ElBaradei helped the Americans in the invasion of Iraq , his wife is Swedish and his daughter is married to a Christian , he lives abroad in a rich life and only come to use our poverty for his political ambition “ are more common among them. Do not underestimate the Mubarak propaganda campaign in these areas. We can’t
The MB says that its youth were the ones who are in fact helped the military police to get Dr. ElBaradei and his supporters out of the area. There has not been any official comment about this terrible , there has not been a single investigation considering the fact that this is an attack against a personality that got the Nile Sash which means he comes after the President when we speak about the protocols. ElBaradei could have been injured on that day.
Despite the indications say that the attackers were hired and that it was intended deliberate action, lots and lots of people now are blaming the campaign for choosing this area specifically. Some speak about religious polarization there while others speak about a lack of secu
The people of Moktam are very angry , the youth there are going to organize a an apology stand at the same place next Tuesday afternoon. There are couple FB pages made by youth expressing their sorrow and refusal to what happened to Dr. ElBaradei like for instance “The youth of Facebook apologize to ElBaradei” , “We apologize to Dr. ElBaradei “
I am not defending anyone but we are trying to reach to the truth here because I believe all these attacks against ElBaradei are not planned by the Muslim brotherhood but rather by the NDP and the former regime. The former regime does not want the man to become a president because simply as the former adviser of Mubarak Mustafa El-Faky put it ‘ElBaradei is direct and pure’. The old regime fears from accountability and ElBaradei is too pure, honest and direct to the level of not forgiving anyone when it comes to the country.
When Al Ahram and Al Messa complete their anti-ElBaradei campaign in their coverage , then we must realize it is more than the Salafists or Islamist fraction , the old regime is still fooling around. This is a screen cap from Al Messa daily newspaper on March 19th.
The daughter of Dr. ElBaradei was not with him !! The newspaper claims that Dr. Elbaradei was distributing money to encourage the people to say "No" but the people decided to teach one hell of a lesson !! Can you believe that crap ? The big fat liar who wrote is Lamia Abdel Hamid by the way.
Khaled Emam , the editor in chief of this newspaper is one of the most biased Mubarak regime’s journalists , I can’t count how many times he made me feel sick. He used to attack ElBaradei terribly and unfortunately Al Messa as evening newspaper is popular.
I think Dr. ElBaradei is extremely angry still he should not give up to anger because we need him now more than any time.
