صراع الكلاب (Dogfighting(

صراع الكلاب


بقلم: محمد شريف كامل*
@mskamel
20 ابريل 2014

عُرفَت هذه اللعبة الدموية منذ قديم الاذل، حيث كان المتعطشين للدماء يطلقون كلبان ليتصارعا حتى الموت، ويساق العديد للمشاهدة وكل منهم لديه المبررات للمشاهدة، فمنهم من يستمتع، ومنهم من يدعي الاستمتاع حتى يحسب من الرعية المقربين، 
ومنهم من هو هناك حتى لا يفوته الحدث، ولتكتمل المتعة فان كل من المشاهدين يتعصب لاحد المتصارعين.

مع تطور الفكر البشري وظهور جمعيات الرفق بالحيوان، وانتشار استمتاع الملوك بسفك دماء البشر من رعاياهم ومواطني الدول الاخرى، انتقلت هذه اللعبة الدموية للحواري والازقة، واصبحت لعبة محظورة.

ظل الحال كذلك حتى قررت القوى الاستعمارية، المسماة اليوم بالدول العظمى، قررت ان التخلي عن الاستعمار المباشر ونشر حكام تابعين لهم بالفرض، بالانقلابات المتتالية، وأحيانا بمسرحية هزليه يتصور المشاهدين لها انهم يشاركون في عملية ديمقراطية، وما هي إلا صورة مستجدة من صراع الكلاب، حيث يتصارع اثنان أو أكثر على منصب رئاسي أيان كان الفائز فيه فهو ليس الوطن ولا الشعب. ولكنه القوى الأخرى المستمرة في امتصاص دماء الشعوب.

لقد تذكرت ذلك وانا اتابع هذه المهزلة المسماة انتخابات الرئاسة الجارية الان في مصر، وما هي الا نوع جديد من تلك اللعبة المقيتة، حيث يسعى القائمين عليها إلى شرعنه وضع الانقلاب الدموي بادعاء ان هناك خطوات ديمقراطية.

فيُلقى اثنان في الحلقة ليتصارعا ويتصور العديد انه صراع ديمقراطي، ويبدأ العوام التشيع لاحد المتصارعين، وبلا شك سينتهي الصراع برئيس وهمي عينه الانقلاب، فكلاهما من ذات المصدر ويمثلان منظم اللعبة، وأيان منهما سيقوم بالدور المرسوم له. فهم وجهان لعملة واحدة.

فالسيسي ليس قائد الانقلاب بل هو فقط منظمه، والصباحي ليس بالمعارض له ولا بالمنافس، بل هو ممن شاركوا في الترتيبات الازمة للانقلاب وممن صار في دربة. اليس من العجب ان يكون منظمي حملة السيسي هم من جمعوا التوقيعات لترشيح منافسة الصوري. أوليس امن الدولة هو من ادار حملة الصباحي الأولى عام 2012، وأليست المملكة هي من مول تلك الحملة، وأليس الصباحي ومجموعته هم من شبهوا قائد الانقلاب السيسي بعبد الناصر.

وهنا يجب ان نشير لدور المملكة، وحتى ندرك دورها يجب ان نعود للوراء، فهم ملوك نُصبوا بمعرفة المستعمر ليكونوا حراس ابار البترول والمتحدثين باسم الإسلام، فيملك الغرب المنطقة بالكامل عن طريق السيطرة الوجدانية والاقتصادية، فأل سعود منذ تنصيبهم لم يكونوا إلا أداة لوقف التقدم، وضرب الوحدة وإضعاف المنطقة العربية وتبديد ثرواتها.

ومن المعلوم ان عصر البترول، الذهب الأسود، جلب لأل سعود ثروة تتعدى التريليون دولار أمريكي (1000 مليار دولار)، هذا ما يعادل ضعف الناتج المحلي الإجمالي السعودي الذي يبلغ حوالي 600 مليار دولار (بأرقام 2010)، ومخصصات الأمراء تكلف خزينة الدولة ملياري دولار في السنة (بأرقام 1996). ولم يُستَخدم أي من تلك الثروات لا لتنمية أو مساعدة أي من الشعوب الفقيرة، والفتات المستخدم لبعض المشروعات الداخلية لم يخلوا من العمولات التي أغرقت أل سعود في خدمة المستعمر فهو من نصبه ويحميه.

حتى انه كان العائق المباشر لكل من حاول غير ذلك، ولا يجب أن ننسى أن أسامة بن لادن كانت وجهته استصلاح الأراضي بجنوب السودان، وهو ما مثل خطر على مشروع تقسيم السودان فوُجه لأفغانستان، فبذلك يستمر مشروع التقسيم ويتم ضرب الإسلام من خلال المشروع المشترك للمخابرات الامريكية وأل سعود المعروف فيما بعد "بالقاعدة".

ولا ننسى أن أل سعود هم من صنع صدام العراق، ووقف ضد ناصر والمد القومي، وحارب مشاريع الوحدة العربية، ومول الجماعات السلفية الوهابية، وحارب الثورات العربية، وأركع العرب عقب انتصار 1973، وسلم سلاح البترول وشجع السادات ومول مشروعه الاستسلامي، ومول تدمير العراق وسوريا، ووقف ضد ثورات الربيع العربي، ودبر ومول الانقلاب على الشرعية في مصر. وكما كان حاله دائما يحارب الإسلام غير النابع من أل سعود.

لقد علمني التاريخ أنه عندما تتضارب المواقف وينقسم الاشقاء أن أبحث عن أل سعود فأعلم أن الحق في الجانب الأخر. إن حل أزمة المنطقة لن يكون إلا باختفاء أل سعود.


وبالعودة للصراع الشكلي على السلطة في مصر يجب ألا ننسى صراع الكلاب القديم والذي ينظمه اليوم أل سعود ليصفي مصر فتصفى العروبة والإسلام ومعهم القضية الفلسطينية.

Ce que la junte égyptienne meurtrière veut de Stephen Harper



La junte brutale de l'Egypte aimerait bien que le Canada devienne la première nation démocratique à être d'accord pour appeler les frères musulmans comme une organisation terroriste.

Par Haroon Siddiqui, chroniqueur

http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2014/04/16/what_the_murderous_egyptian_junta_wants_from_stephen_harper.html

http://forafreeegypt.blogspot.ca/2014/04/what-murderous-egyptian-junta-wants.html


Le gouvernement militaire de l'Egypte, celui qui a pris le pouvoir par un coup d'état en juillet 2013 et a créé un état policier depuis, fait du lobbying auprès des gouvernements potentiellement amis pour qu'ils fassent l'impasse sur sa misérable situation des droits humains et pour l'aider à écraser saa seule opposition réelle, les frères musulmans, en les désignant comme un groupe terroriste. Le premier ministre canadien Stephen Harper est parmi ceux sur lesquels la junte militaire fonde ses espoirs.   

S'il acceptait, il serait le seul pays démocratique à le faire.

En février, l'Arabie Saoudite a suivi l'Egypte en traitant les frères musulmans comme une organisation terroriste. Le seul autre état à l’avoir jamais fait était la Russie, en 2006, quand Vladimir Poutine l’a fait comme une faveur à un autre gouvernement militaire, celui du président Hosni Moubarak.

En échange, le maréchal égyptien Abdel Fattah al Sissi peut libérer le citoyen canadien Mohamed Fahmy, le journaliste d'al Jazira détenu au Caire avec deux collègues depuis le mois de décembre avec plusieurs accusations, dont celle de terrorisme.

Son crime n’est pas ce qu’il a rapporté, mais plutôt qu'il travaille pour le réseau de télévision financé par le Qatar, qui a soutenu le printemps arabe qui a conduit à des élections que les frères musulmans ont gagnées.

L’Arabie Saoudite, les Émirats Arabes Unis et d'autres monarchies ont donné aux généraux égyptiens des milliards de dollars d'aide et des prêts pour l'écrasement des frères musulmans. C'est la seule institution viable en Égypte autre que l'armée, et ses ramifications dans le monde arabe en font la seule opposition démocratique potentielle aux régimes autocratiques enracinés.

Le ministre canadien des affaires étrangères John Baird est attendu au Caire jeudi et vendredi. Nous verrons quelles concessions il offrira au régime militaire, au-delà de ce qu’Ottawa a déjà fait.

Harper était aussi sceptique par rapport au printemps arabe que les généraux de la région et les émirs du pétrole non élus. Quand Mohammed Morsi, le premier président égyptien élu, a été renversé et emprisonné l'an dernier, Harper est resté muet. Quand il a finalement parlé, il s'est félicité de coup d'état militaire d’al Sissi comme un « retour à la stabilité ». Le premier ministre est parmi ceux qui croient encore à la fausse croyance selon laquelle la sécurité d'Israël est mieux assurée par les dictateurs militaires et les monarques de la région.

La paix durable sera faite par des démocraties, pas par des régimes de clients dont l'illégitimité, en fait, érode le soutien à Israël et produit des sentiments anti-américains et anti- occidentaux.

Harper et Baird se sont fait entendre sur le sort des chrétiens coptes en Egypte, tandis qu’ils courtisaient les électeurs chrétiens coptes au Canada. Cette communauté ethnique a aidé les conservateurs à gagner la province de Mississauga Erindale en 2008. Avec le redécoupage des circonscriptions, le vote copte serait important dans trois circonscriptions de Mississauga. Le député de l’une d’entre elles, Brad Butt (la même personne qui a du retirer ses accusations selon lesquelles il avait vu la fraude électorale lors des élections), a déposé une pétition à la chambre des communes demandant de désigner les frères musulmans comme une organisation terroriste. L'automne dernier, une délégation de chrétiens coptes faisait du lobbying à Ottawa pour une telle désignation. Parmi ceux qui lui prêtaient une oreille attentive il y avait David Anderson, secrétaire parlementaire de Baird, et le ministre de l'immigration Chris Alexander.

Le bureau de Baird a dit qu’au Caire il rencontrera, outre les apparatchiks du gouvernement, des « groupes religieux » (lire, les chrétiens coptes). Il dit aussi que « ce sera le signal de la volonté du Canada d'appuyer l'Egypte au cours de cette importante transition » (lire, le régime militaire est très bien).

Ceci est en accord avec l'utilisation par Harper de la politique étrangère comme un moyen pour gagner des voix parmi les minorités ethniques. Outre les communautés juives et coptes, la posture agressive de Harper sur l'Ukraine vise clairement les canadiens d'origine ukrainienne, comme ses récentes prises de position en faveur des tamouls canadiens n’étaient pas motivées par le long règne de terreur du gouvernement sri-lankais contre les tamouls. L'an dernier, Harper a boycotté le Sommet du Commonwealth à Colombo et le lundi, Baird a suspendu le financement annuel de dix millions de dollars d'Ottawa au secrétariat du Commonwealth à Londres pour « avoir fermé les yeux sur des violations des droits de l'homme » au Sri Lanka.

La posture sur l'Egypte est particulièrement honteuse, considérant que l'armée et la police égyptienne ont tué plus de mille civils depuis juillet (c'est dans la même ligne que le massacre de 1989 des manifestants non armés sur la place Tiananmen). Plus de seize mille égyptiens ont été arrêtés. L'an dernier, le physicien canadien Tarek Loubani et le cinéaste John Greyson ont été libéré seulement après une longue campagne publique. Khaled al Qazzaz, résident permanent du Canada, marié à Sarah Attia, née à Toronto, est toujours en prison. Il a travaillé pour Morsi et a été arrêté après le coup d’état, jeté en cellule d'isolement, sans accusation et privé de contact avec sa famille.

Les groupes de droits humains égyptiens et internationaux ont condamné la vague de violence officielle, la justice sauvage et le règne de la terreur et de la torture déclenchée par la junte militaire. 

Particulièrement féroce a été le traitement des femmes militantes, y compris des jeunes filles, qui sont soumises à un harcèlement sexuel, à des tests de virginité (en particulier approuvés par al Sissi) et à des viols.

Mais Harper et Baird pensent qu’al Sissi est simplement génial.

Egypt: support of academic freedom and release of academic staff detained since 30th of June 2013

Participate with us in the campaign of solidarity for the freedom of expression in the Egyptian universities, institutes and research centers for both faculty members and students.
Deliver this cry for freedom to all the world
We call for the immediate release of detained faculty members and students and the stopping of violation of the freedom of association and speech in Egyptian universities.

Violation of academic freedom
in the Egyptian universities

Academic Freedom Monitor Independent University Group
Free University Universities against Coup
Report
Violation of academic freedom in the Egyptian universities
The academic community in Egyptian universities, institutes and
research centers have been suffering for more than eight months as a
result of the arbitrariness and suppression of freedoms by the
Egyptian authorities: this includes suppression of academic freedoms,
intellectual terrorism, intolerance of opposition, suspension from
work and referral of academics to disciplinary committees, arbitrary
dismissals and random arrests and psychological and physical abuse
and fabrication of charges without any evidence ; punishment for the
expression of a dissenting opinion, or for showing solidarity with
students.
Activities and conferences discussing the issues and problems
related to the topics of power sharing and the civil-military relations
or revolutionary youth movements, etc. are not welcome within the
corridors of universities and research centers due to restrictions
imposed by the new military regime. These restrictions included
messages warning researchers not to participate in international or
local scientific conferences or meetings discussing the civil-military
relations. Under these unfair restrictions and censorship restricting
academic freedom, many conferences and seminars were cancelled
because they included political opposition figures for fear of the
discussion of the policies of the regime and the legitimacy of July 3
regime led by General Abdel-Fattah EL-Sissy.
Within the corridors of the Egyptian universities, life has
become prisonlike, in every sense of the word where dialogue
or expressing a dissenting opinion even on the pages of social
network sites like Facebook are not tolerated. The Facebook account
of Mr. Ahmed Abdel Basset, a teaching assistant in the Faculty of
Science, Cairo University has been targeted by a large number of
reporting and was shutdown eventually. Mr. Abdel Basset himself
was suspended for three months and referred to disciplinary
- 3-
punishment because he expressed his views about the regime on his
personal Facebook account!
Showing moral solidarity towards students led to targeting the
university professors as Mr. Sheriff Shehata, a teaching assistant at
the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. He has been suspended
without pay and was referred to disciplinary committee, because of
his sympathy with the students after the security forces killed an
Egyptian student, Mohammad Reza, on the campus of the Faculty of
Engineering University Cairo.
In general, the university administration exercises arbitrary
dismissals of any opposing professors or teaching staff. For example,
Dr. Amr Darraj, a professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo
University, and Dr. Ahmed Hussein, a lecturer at the Faculty of
Arts, Cairo University were fired from their positions at the
university. The university’s administration also deliberately fabricates
false accusations against staff expressing opposing or different
opinion without any legal basis or evidence, and this is what
happened with Drs. Saif al-Din Abdel-Fattah, Pakinam Al-Sharqawi,
faculty members in the Faculty of Economics and Political Science.
Defamation and smear campaigns through private and state media
were launched against faculty members who participated in the public
debate on issues of power and politics in Egypt. A clear example is
Dr. Amr Hamzawy, a well-known academic and political rights
activist, who was charged with spying! They went as far as
charging prominent professors because of participation in
conferences: as what was done to the political science professor Dr.
Emad Shahin, a professor at the American University who was
charged due to his participation in scientific conferences both local
and international.
The ruling authorities in Egypt have no qualms about the arrest of
many of the faculty members and students from various universities
and research centers because of their personal views where they are
falsely charged with committing crimes based on fabrications and
made-up evidences. Many of those charged are detained and are
- 4-
exposed to torture as well as physical and psychological confinement
in the Central Security camps.
As of mid- March 2014, the Egyptian authorities have
arrested 1347 students and killed 176 students from various
universities and institutes of Egypt. 16 counts of killing of students at
the hands of Egyptian police took place in police raids on campus. 5
of the total death happened while students were in detention. The total
jail terms against students reached 594 years and the total bail outs
issued by Egyptian courts against students reached 3 million and 860
thousand pounds equaling 550 thousand US dollars. Tens of students
were arbitrary expelled form university and deprived of the
completion of their education; because of their opposition and without
any independent investigation into the accusations levelled at them.
Hundreds of opposition students were deprived of government
discounted student dormitories and make them homeless, which
impedes them from continuing their education. The security forces
have stormed the campuses as the Universities of Cairo and Al-Azhar,
using tear gas and shot live bullets and cartridges, as happened at on a
regular basis.
We demand that concerned independent international human rights
committees document the violations that are taking place against us
and the denial of the basic human right of freedom of speech. Such
environment is intended to smother creativity and any intellectual
growth among the faculty and the students. We call these international
bodies to support our plea for the immediate release of detained
faculty members and students and the stopping of violation of the
freedom of association and speech in Egyptian universities.
