The Muslim Brotherhood, considered a terrorist organization by Egypt, has been using various tactics to pressure the government and create crises. These tactics include exploiting economic or regulatory decisions, magnifying their impact, and turning citizens against their national context. According to Sawt Al-Umma, the Brotherhood's media, directed by British national Abdelrahman Abu Diya, has been used to manipulate international reports and turn them into tools for political pressure against Egyptian institutions.
The Brotherhood's approach involves repeating lies and presenting them in different forms to make them seem more realistic. They have also been engaging in systematic skepticism of Egypt's achievements, downplaying national and developmental projects, and casting doubt on their success. This has been accompanied by emotional pressure, frustration, and a focus on criticism to create a sense of uncertainty.
The Brotherhood's media machine does not operate randomly; it follows a structured plan to target and destabilize Egypt. The organization's international offices, including those run by Abu Diya and his son, who hold foreign nationality, are involved in this effort. The Brotherhood's slogan, "borders are dust and the land is God's," reflects their detachment from Egypt.
The Brotherhood's media production process begins with creating a shocking or marginal idea, feeding it with misinformation, and then turning it into videos, texts, and infographics. These are then distributed through electronic committees and social media platforms, using fake accounts to amplify the message and create hashtags that trend online.
However, these efforts are often contradicted by facts presented by official Egyptian institutions and national media. The public's awareness and perception of reality ultimately dispel the rumors and misinformation spread by the Brotherhood. The gap between the reality on the ground and the Brotherhood's narrative is significant.
While Egypt is making progress in various areas, including infrastructure development and counter-terrorism efforts, the Brotherhood's media outlets claim that these efforts are ineffective. Despite the Brotherhood's attempts to portray Egypt as unstable, the country has enjoyed a period of relative stability and security.
The Brotherhood's media networks, funded by suspicious foreign sources, will ultimately fail due to their lack of credibility and reliance on lies. Egypt's national institutions and their connection with the people will continue to counter and dismantle these networks, rendering them ineffective.
