Top MB members criticize Brotherhood’s leadership failure

CAIRO – 13 May 2017: Top members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood have recently lambasted the Islamist group over funds and leadership issues.
The Brotherhood admitted that the organization has been receiving funds and support from certain countries since the toppling of former President Mohamed Morsi to fulfill its agenda.

Senior Muslim Brotherhood member Ezz Eddin Dewidar chastised the group’s leadership. He posted on his Facebook account on Thursday that despite “the loyal recruits, international allies, official support and unlimited funding …everything got out of control.”



Dewidar said the leadership could not even keep their existing allies, while ex-allies started denying their affiliation to the group.

“Even if we chose to be lead by someone other than you, you would ignore all your failures, setbacks and crimes to split the line among your supporters and opponents over the loyalty rule, and punish those who oppose you,” Dewidar added, referring to the Brotherhood leadership in Egypt.

Mohammed al-Akid, Shura Council member of the Brotherhood in Turkey, admitted the failure of the international organization, saying the current leadership is “doomed to failure.”

Al-Akid said the “international organization” of the Muslim Brotherhood does not exist anymore, pointing out that it became more like a “charity.”

The Brotherhood Youth Front, led by Mohamed Kamal, earlier announced on May 3, the second part of its assessment for the organization’s behavior and institutional structure between 2011 and 2017.

The assessment criticized the organization’s rather poor political performance following the ousting of former President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
