Head of the International Union of Muslim Scholars Dr Yousef al-Qaradawi has called on the Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi to quit, Quds Press reported yesterday.
In a televised speech delivered on the fifth anniversary of January 25 Revolution, Al-Qaradawi described Al-Sisi as a “hypocrite” and a “liar”, calling on Egyptians to “stand against his oppression”.
“Everything in Egypt became corrupt and bad… This is the result of the counter-revolution which destroyed Egypt and everything is getting worse… What shall the Egyptians do? Egypt is losing billions of pounds every day,” Al-Qaradawi said.
Addressing Al-Sisi and his aides, he said: “Bless the country and quit. Bless the people on the earth in order to be blessed with heaven. Leave Egypt to its own people and leave the other countries to live as they want… Leave these countries to cooperate with each other.”
He encouraged the Egyptian youth to “rise up and do not feel desperate. Do not surrender to these oppressors. God willing they will fall. The truth will become clear and justice will prevail. Good will overcome evil.”
