No matter how many times you witness it, the transformation is still a dizzying one. Kiosks that once vended chocolate and cigarettes, deployed as a gunman’s shield. Shop window shutters framing sugar-sopped cakes or risqué clothes mannequins, now the roughage of a street barricade and clouded in teargas. Rooftops normally barnacled with satellite dishes and humming AC units, today specked with sniper rifle sights. All that familiar stuff, wrenched from an old reality and pressed into use as something different. Two and a half years in, the urban shift from mundane to martial remains as abnormal as ever.

How some ordinary Egyptians became ‘malicious terrorists’

Disgust, shame, outrage.

All these words apply to the disgrace of Egypt these past six weeks. A military coup, millions of enraged supporters of the democratically elected but deposed dictator – reports that indicate well over 1,000 Muslim Brotherhood sympathisers slaughtered by the security police – and what were we told by the authorities yesterday? That Egypt was subject to “a malicious terrorist plot”.

The language speaks for itself. Not just a common or garden “terrorist” plot – but a “terrorist” plot so terrible that it is “malicious”. Naturally, the government acquired this use of the “terrorist” word from Bush and Blair, another Western contribution to Arab culture. But it goes further. The country, we are now informed, is at the mercy of “extremist forces who want to create war”. You would think, on hearing this, that most of the dead these past six weeks were soldiers and policemen, whereas in fact most were unarmed demonstrators.

Erklärung der Revolutionären Sozialisten Ägyptens zum Massaker in Kairo

Die blutige Räumung des Sitzstreiks auf dem Al-Nahda-Platz und in Raba’a al-Adawiyya ist nichts anderes als ein von vornherein geplantes Massaker. Sein Ziel ist es, die Moslembrüder zu liquidieren. Er soll aber auch den Rahmen für einen Liquidierungsplan der ägyptischen Revolution und eine Wiedereinführung des Militär- und Polizeiregimes von Mubarak liefern.
