The military takeover in Egypt in
view of 35-th anniversary of Camp David. The military takeover in Egypt that took place on June 30 was thought (by some local man in military uniform and their overseas colleges) as a first step to end Egypt’s external dependence to restore its endogen nationalistic role in Arab solidarity to decrease the effect of the scourges caused by Camp David. (What a stupid ideas used to come to my mind Saturday night. But how else could I begin this article?).
This accord imposed some restrictions on Egypt’s sovereignty (Sinai) and the country lost its control and ability of using military and security methods in this district. One of the main outcomes of those restrictions was the growing terrorist’s threat both to Egypt and Israel.
But looking at the present tragic Egypt situation and examining the disastrous effects on the nation caused by the military coup one could hardly believe that its organizers and supporters have kept in mind such a noble idea.
Egypt didn’t come back to its central role in Arab-Israeli negotiations as was expected. Moreover, this very fact left some negative effects on the united Arab action and turned them in a toy of the regional and international struggles.
Now Egypt couldn’t represent the balancing weight to fill any void and confront any threat by bringing everybody together. Instead of this Egypt has turned out in a factor of division.
The loss of Egypt’s central weight led to the loss of nationalistic (watanya) immunity. The best example come to us from Syria where all sorts of narrow, limited tendencies prevailed including sectarianism, takfiri, terrorist ideas that threaten the very existence of Arab nation.
I would like to be mistaken if I believed that present military authorities in Egypt were ready to take on their shoulders all responsibility (not only preserve their power and business positions) as their predecessors did in 50-th of XX century.
On the other hand I wonder was America affected by the sectarian strife in Syria. What did America loose when Yugoslavia, Indonesia, Sudan broke into several states. And so what does America stand to lose if Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Algeria will to follow in the same path of partitioning?
