and over the issue that he was the elected president of egypt so from day one president morsi faced the challenges we spoke about i think he did speak to the people and again i contest the idea that he spoke only in a religious language there's a serious member and i've got know his speeches well that he spoke to the people directly and we speak about a population the majority of which is muslim and which can relate to this direct and simple language president morsi was a man who was honest and was steadfast in his beliefs and that appeal to many egyptians i think the odds as i said were stacked against him because we have a military regime like others in the region and others that we saw in south america that taken a long time to crumble around this with this is only the 1st phase of the struggle against them the urge for a civil society a purist exercise was one that we saw in 2012 those were the 1st steps it was

undermined by regional powers by the interests of israel and by not only the deep state but egyptian liberals and democrats who also did not stand by the president i hope that also all these forces have the lesson and know that democracy should should be respected and the will of the people whatever the decision is should have been respected and all should have stood together to protect egypt's democracy right and the price we're paying today in egypt is a price paid by all not only members of the muslim writer so mohammed now what we seem to be witnessing in egypt is an ever more hardline thora tarion regime the the very few number of freedoms are enjoyed by people under the mubarak regime that see they seem to be shrinking the political space is virtually nonexistent and the number of. of people being imprisoned for holding alternative views is rising

almost by the month not to mention the closing down pretty much of independent media do you think therefore that egyptians have got the stomach for another fight or they've got the stomach to take home the status quo and fight for their freedom again. well i mean the military dictatorship birder is doing what it does best which is killing people in prison in them and torturing them and we have seen that on a massive a scale in egypt over the last 6 years that we haven't seen in egypt before mother gyptian history even during the dictatorship of president not sir and this has been a buffer against the people of prising again there is a fatigue in cairo and elsewhere for an uprising and a military apparatus and the security apparatus have been cracking down severely on anyone who attempts to do any kind of dissent or observation or demonstrations

across cairo and labeled them tourists and we see in the liquidation. as us in nation of multiple members of the opposition claimed to be. there was 0 at any proof and investigation about that and so this is all a quite a hurdle for an uprising against a dictatorship and unfortunately the western powers are still doing what they do best which basically providing weapons and arms to a dictatorship and making deals with. regardless of what the people want and this is going to affect everyone in the region not just in egypt but in the region and also in and europe as well cryo of the civilizations happened in egypt but going forward there are some civilian forces who are trying to regroup and trying to do a coherent opposition against political opposition. it is

a con regime internally and overseas and we hope not and the near future that will be fruitful somehow again is the size of your situation right and ramey the the egypt example is preferred he must to be a blueprint for the region and a us you mentioned here and sit down it is exactly what has happened in egypt that they are trying to avoid and as we've seen from the sit in outside army headquarters in call to the way that was brutally dispersed with seeing eerie echoes out we rather in a spacious echoes of what has gone before in egypt we are at and the specific instances you mentioned we're seeing there but there's something very important to grasp about how egypt the life short and come and see and death are from hamad morsi how this symbolizes what is happening all over the region with the cracking down on freedom of expression people being indicted and put in jail or arrested for

tweeting things closing down of civil liberties and. people governments using their military power to attack anywhere they want in the region so you get some people like the u.a.e. and the saudis and the egyptians they're involved in libya they're involved in yemen the sudanese are involved in lemon yemen or were they still are to an extent so that there's a general regression into a kind of authoritarian militarism and autocracy that is widespread across much of the arab world it is almost. explicitly and directly supported by major international powers and you see it in the very low key reaction now in the arab world to the to the morsi assassinated to the morsi death that there is a general deterioration across the region and ordinary. susan has as you had asked

muhammad or do citizens can do very much if they stand up in public they're going to get arrested or killed or tortured or have to flee so most people have learned that it is not worth paying giving up your life to make a gesture that's not going to have any political impact because the the regime and its supporters are so powerful and so brutal right when they want to be so we have to wait a little bit to see the reactions that will will happen down the road and of the reaction is going to come when the egyptian government simply cannot maintain the basic economic daily livelihoods of the majority of the 100000000 egyptians and the system will snap at some point if it's not dealt with before and the romney can i stick with you and ask you for a really really brief reply and that is what we do see now is the firm establishment of what i suppose you could kula a kind of a counter revolution we try the. saudi arabia united arab emirates and egypt who seemed determined to quell any any including the

democratic values are going to take a hold in any of the regional countries we've seen this happening and it was the election of morsi is that actually triggered this when the in the saudis saw this they really got scared they saw a muslim brothers winning democratic elections and they just couldn't handle it they saw the liberal media continued to expand legs 0 and others around the region they saw the west talking to the iranians so it was that moment that triggered the counter-revolutionary counter democratic forces to work together and they are also being assisted by the israelis by the united states by european powers and other so it's more than just a troika this is a real problem of a growing authoritarian militarism and brutality that is crushing the rights and the hope so. ordinary citizens at some point they're ordinary

citizens are going to fight back but we'll have to wait and see thank you all very much indeed. in london mohammed in chicago and rami curry of coals in beirut thank you all very much indeed thank you for watching the program you can see it again any time you like it by going to the website al-jazeera dot com if you want more discussion remember there's a facebook page at facebook dot com for slash a.j. inside story there's also the conversation on twitter i had liz at inside story i'm dennis say for me and the whole team here in doha the bye for now. freezing winds and rugged terrain and at times seem impossible. but for afghan traders who brave the will concur adore is no choice. combating the impossible to sell their goods and isolated areas. we follow that daring journeys as they
