EGYPT: Former president speaks out On Wednesday, during a rare public appearance, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak spoke out and denied to the public that he was responsible for the killing of protesters in the 2011 Arab Spring uprising. His long silence ended during his court hearing, where he was tried on charges of supporting the killing of protesters. Mubarak holds that he was not complicit in these killings and rather contended that what he did was for the good of the nation and the people of my nation. The outcome of the trial is set to be revealed on September 27. Comment: This week, the Egyptian courts also banned the Muslim Brotherhoods political wing, The Freedom and Justice Party, which was once led by the former Egyptian President, Mohamed Morsi. When he was ousted in 2013, the military classified the group as a terrorist organization.
