Tensions between the supporting and opposing sides of Egyptian army to resign President Mohammad Morsi and substituting an interim government related to the army led by Adly Mansour, former Egyptian judge of the Supreme Constitutional Court has continued with both sides trying to stabilize their stances.
Due to the heat wave and beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, gathering of pro and anti Morsi protesters generally begin in the early night hours (after iftar) and continue till early morning hours.
Amid this situation the supporters of Muslim Brotherhood and resigned Morsi government stress a change in the situation while anti-Morsi Egyptians demand for stabilization of the new atmosphere and realization of the next process of the plan by Egyptian army.
While pro Morsi Egyptians and Muslim Brotherhood members are thinking of his return and seemingly they do not have the possibility to make some key decisions due to detention of its key members, the newly formed government, backed by the army and pro Morsi forces including National Salvation Army and Tamarod Movement besides financial and political aids of foreign countries have been busy forming the cabinet and a new working team.
However, how the combination of the new cabinet must be to fulfill the new demands and also help contain the domestic political gaps remain as important criteria for political and security changes in Egypt.
Cooperation of Muslim Brotherhood and its political wing, Justice and Freedom Party, in the new interim government might guarantee a new era for the country but when the majority of its members are in detention and the new government does not seem to have the determination to involve Muslim Brotherhood, there are still hesitations on the movement to join in the new situation.
On the other hand the words on the possibility of Muslim Brotherhood joining an armed movement seems far from reality because the winner of this game would be the Zionist regime who is in ambush for Egypt to turn into a second Syria and for the same end this regime is managing the changes in Sinai to involve the army in clashes with armed groups.
Although the US deployed William Burns, Deputy Secretary of States, to credit its place in the new situation, both pro and anti-Morsi sides rejected his demands for a visit.
Muslim Brotherhood is critical of the US since it has cheated Morsi government and cooperated in resignation of Morsi and at the same time approved the Egyptian army by taking neutral stance regarding a coup.
Therefore, it seems that recent political changes in Egypt including resignation of Morsi with the green light of the US, has brought Muslim Brotherhood home that they should have not trusted the US and carry all their eggs in the US basket.
On the other hand; however, anti-Morsi side is critical of US efforts to involve Muslim Brotherhood in the new process and just like Muslim Brotherhood, they cannot trust Washington in regards its past approach.
