Opposition raps Sinai residents’ evacuation

 

According to Press TV, the Egyptian opposition, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, denounced the regime’s recent practices in Sinai as “fascist”.

Egypt is creating a buffer zone along its border with the Gaza Strip following recent deadly attacks on Egyptian security forces in the Sinai Peninsula.

The move will see the demolition of about 800 homes, and the construction of a 500-meter deep buffer along the 10-kilometer border with the besieged Palestinian coastal enclave.

Egypt had ordered the area’s 10,000 residents to pack up and leave before they would destroy their homes.

The opposition is concerned by the compulsory deportation of residents, the lack of fair compensation for those who agree to leave their homes, and the likely grim fate awaiting those who might resist.

The April 6 Youth Movement said the citizens of Sinai should not pay the price for the failure of security forces to fight terrorism.
