Official spokesman of Egypt’s Tamarod movement, Mahmoud Badr, voiced full support for the Syrian Army in the face of any US military strike against Syria, voicing utter rejection of any foreign military intervention in any Arab country. In statements to the press on Wednesday, Badr said that the US seeks to carry out a plan targeting Arab armies and countries which aims at weakening them and fragmenting them, describing the US as an occupying country which destroyed Iraq and is now trying to destroy Syria and interfere in Egypt’s affairs. He said that Arab people will not permit this aggression to pass, and that those who summon foreign forces to intervene in their own country are traitors. Bakri warned that if the US and its allies succeed in attacking Syria, Egypt will be next, calling for foiling these plots and saving Syria.

The House of Saud has reason to be satisfied that 2½ years after the Arab awakening began toppling dictators from Tunisia to Yemen, its policies have helped counter the revolutionary tsunami and brought a return to autocracy across much of the Arab world.
But the kingdom’s pursuit of the counterrevolution may prove to be illusory, since the roots of Arab revolution run deep. The Saudis offered the first fallen dictator, Tunisia's Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, a safe exile. The Saudis were appalled at the downfall of Hosni Mubarak weeks later in 2011; Mubarak, a longtime friend of the Saudis, sent two divisions of troops to defend the kingdom in 1990 from Saddam Hussein.

Click to hide this space LONDON – Egypt’s crisis has been called the worst in its history. In fact, it bears a striking resemblance to a previous episode, almost 60 years ago. On February 28, 1954, more than a 100,000 protesters besieged Cairo’s Abdin Palace, then being used by Gamal Abdel Nasser and other leaders of the July 1952 coup. The protesters’ main demands were the restoration of Egypt’s fragile democratic institutions, the release of political prisoners, and the army’s return to its barracks. The two-month crisis of 1954 was sparked by the removal of Egypt’s president, General Mohammed Naguib, by Nasser and his faction.

Echoes of Nasser - By Steven A. Cook. It was October 26, 1954, and Gamal Abdel Nasser was regaling a crowd gathered in Alexandria's Manshiya Square. A Muslim Brother named Mahmoud Abdel Latif squeezed through the crowd and fired eight shots at the Egyptian leader, all of them missing.
