NSF wants to destroy Egypt

Vice President of Mauritania’s leading Islamist party has criticised anti-Muslim Brotherhood parties in Egypt, accusing them of wanting to turn the clocks back to before the 25 January revolution that ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak.   In an interview with Arab Today, Saleck Ould Sidi Mahmoud, Vice President of Tawasol (National Rally for Reform and Development), attacked the Egyptian opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front (NSF), which supported the June 30 demonstrations leading to the overthrow of Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi.   He said: "Egypt's NSF is striving with all its might and foreign support, to destroy Egypt. It is aiming to descent the country into chaos and division for political ends." The Islamist leader stated his view that Egypt needed more time to complete the formation of state institutions and rid the country of the remnants of the former regime after the revolution on January 25 2011. He explained that he sees two political schools currently in play in Egypt: one that supports the legitimacy of Morsi, and therefore "a real revolution that pulls out corruption and dictatorship at the roots", and a second that seeks the "total destruction of Egypt to obtain power at any cost."
