The reformists and the old guard in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

07/27/2013

Carrie Wickham of Emory University describes the evolution of the Muslim Brotherhood and the missed opportunity with the failure of the old guard to broaden the movement with genuine dialogue and participation of the reformists. The mid-career professionals who were reformists in the party were pushed out by Morsi and other older party members, leading to poor decisions by Morsi. Including a hasty referendum on the constitution, decrees, and lack of effort for building a broad coalition with secular parties who led the fight against Mubarak.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
