#Egypt - "The forced dispersal of #Rabaa and Nahda marks a triumph of security solutions over political ones—a trend that characterized much of the #Mubarak era. Security solutions rarely solve a problem without the support of a political course of action, which seems to be missing in our current context. There is no question that the Muslim Brotherhood leaders have a long history of poor negotiating behavior, showing extreme stubbornness, and failing to uphold their end of the bargain on many occasions, in power and in opposition. But this is exactly why dealing with them demands a politically savvy approach, instead of reliance on #security solutions, which will only reinforce the #Brotherhood’s rigidity, not to mention the heavy human costs associated with such measures."
