Cairo the new Baghdad?

[Bermooda]

Well its slowly heading that way that's for sure. The Question now is is this the work of MB or the military junta trying to scare the people in order to justify giving themselves more authoritarian powers

Great news let it burn

[Bermooda]

Egypt is needed to keep the TPLF dogs in check so i disagree

[Khalid Ali]

Arabs are useless and Egyptians are losing the plot dont care much about the TPLF, the xabashis have enough time now , Egypt is becoming the new Baghdad.

[Bermooda]

I don't care about the Arabs all i know is Egypt is holding them back from developing their country and instead making them live on handouts so

Looks like isolated incidents to me, there is no organised and armed rebel group with any substantial presence in egypt. What is going in iraq is secretarian violence between sunnis and shias.
Egypt doesn't have the same division as iraq does so i doubt we will see constant bombings occur that targets a specific group/sect; notice a police station was attacked which indicates its specific opposition to the institution controlled by the government.
I think if cairo goes up in flames it will be because of rebel groups like in libya and syria.

[Bermooda]

Isolated do you know how many of those happened after MB were massacred in that sit in they had.

What you are seeing right now is only beginning of something much worse. Did you know some parts of the Sinai is controlled by armed tribes who are sympathetic to he MB

[Estarix]

Sinai is huge desert, there's no way for egyptian army to control it all. I am aware there are rebels operating in egypt and fighting the government by sabotaging infrastructure and targeting institutions. But to me it looks like sporadic hit and run attacks similar to the ira. I think time will tell if it gets much worse than this we will see major problems.

Exactly but it could evolve remember there are many countries wanting to see Egypt break up in many controllable minu states like Somalia
