FJP denies reports of Brotherhood mobilization
2013-03-26
[Egypt Independent] Freedom and Justice Party Secretary General Mahmoud Hussein denied reports circulated on Monday that the Moslem Brüderbund was on a state of high alert ahead of new presidential decrees expected to be issued within hours.

"We have no information about decisions that presidency would take. News in this regard is untrue," Hussein wrote on the FJP website Monday evening.

Earlier in the day, Al-Masry Al-Youm had reported that the Moslem Brüderbund's Guidance Bureau had issued instructions to its administrative offices to prepare all members to mobilize in support of expected decrees, said anonymous sources close to the group's leadership.

Brotherhood leaders have been holding meetings since the reprisal of last week's festivities between Brothers and opposition activists in Moqattam on Friday. The sources claim that all group members have been instructed to get ready to take to the streets once President Mohamed Morsy makes his statement.

#3  They won't need contracts if someone will be supplying the arms and ammunition to the MB gratis

(yes, I know it's snark - but...)

#2  If recent events elsewhere are any indicator, Egyptian bank depositors with accounts in excess of $130,000 USD might have cause for concern.

Of course we've not seen any surprising new Egyptian contracts for hundreds of millions of rounds of hollow-point pistol ammunition or taxes levied upon medical instruments, medicines, and procedures....which appear to be new and developing venues for mobilization, theft, and financial seizure.

#1  It could also be that Egypt is getting close-n-closer to being de facto broke, wid military-controlled food rationing a very real + possible option for the Morsi/Mursi Govt.

I'm interpreting this Artic as the MB preemptively prepping for trouble.
