The rise and fall of the Muslim Brotherhood
Eleven articles on the subject can be accessed at the link. | [AlAhram] Ninety years ago today, Hassan al-Banna founded the Moslem Brüderbund group, which went on to become a major player in both Egyptian and regional politics.
What follows below is not by any means a complete analysis of the role played by the group over the past nine decades, but rather a collection of articles published during interesting times by both Ahram Weekly and Ahram Online, with the aim of marking the day.
These articles attempt to explain the rise and fall of the group which, after a revolution, managed to gain people's trust to win both the legislative body and the presidency, and, in less than a year, became an enemy of the people and the state; a group held accountable for planting the seeds of radicalisation and violence, with an impact not only on Egypt but the entire region and even the world.
