Counter-terrorism is an armed forces and police authentic duty The Peaceful of demonstration and army forces existing away from politics are the most important phase controls

In context of increasing of violence and kill which have been witnessed in several areas in Egypt after insulate the former President Mohamed Morsi, in response to tens of millions who got out to the streets demanding his leaving. Yesterday, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi invited the Egyptian people to demonstrate in the squares to give him a mandate and an order to fight against terrorism and violence. Therefore, Maat Foundation for Peace, Development and Human Rights has followed the events that preceded and followed the isolation of the former president, including the recent call of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces and the abuse nature of community, political and youth power with this call. Thus, out of its reference which is based on international instruments of human rights, the rules of democracy, and good governance as known by free world, Maat would like to stress the following:

1 –Facing all forms of violence and terrorism is an authentic duty of the state, ruling authority, and security services and armed forces. It is an authentic right of citizens’ rights, as the groups that practice violence, terrorism violate citizens' right of security, physical integrity, and the right of life. Besides, the access of civil, political, economic, and social rights have been disrupted and limit their participation in the self-determination and choose their representatives. Therefore, the security services and armed forces have been moved against terrorism and violence, whether that practiced by the Muslim Brotherhood and allied groups (in action and verbal), or practiced by jihadist groups in Sinai, or even practiced by hired thugs against demonstrators, supporters of the isolated president.

2 - The right of demonstrating peacefully is guaranteed for both supporters of the isolated president or his opponents and the relevant authorities should protect it and not accept the violence from any party.

3 - The different political powers, which responded to the call of Sisi to get down tomorrow to the Squares, must be vigilant to demonstrate a peaceful demonstration, and avoid being dragged behind any provocations from any other party as not turn the legitimate peaceful demonstrations expressing the popular determination to effective violence.

4 –As constant affirmation of Maat behavior since former president, the Army forces must remain to be out and not get drawn into politics and stay at the same distance from all political powers that are committed as peaceful and draw their weapons only to commit acts of murder and sabotage against the country and Egyptian people.
