We condemn, as well as the whole Egyptian population, any interference in our internal affairs. The international community must realize that the Egyptian people is rejecting the Muslim Brotherhood regime, and that the Muslim Brotherhood is a Terrorist group abusing the national security and the freedom and rights of the Egyptians. It represents a danger, with its international organization, not only to the Egyptians, but the entire international community. The Egyptians are seeking to build their state, and no one can impose or dictate its will upon them, and Egypt will be always a leader in the international community. Maspero Youth Union
