Senior analyst censures senator McCain for Iiterfering in Egypt\'s internal affairs

A senior Egyptian analyst lambasted US Senator John McCain for his blatant meddling in Egypt\'s internal affairs in his remarks in Cairo, and said Egypt isn’t a part of the US territories. \"At the press conference in Cairo, McCain spoke in a way as if he were speaking in an occupied country and I felt that McCain has come to teach us democracy and dialogue and remind us of Egypt\'s mistakes in the current era; apparently he has forgotten that Egypt enjoys a 7,000-year-old history,\" Vice-President of Al-Ahram Center for Political Studies Emad Jad told FNA on Wednesday. He called on Egyptian officials to stop such interference in the country\'s internal affairs, and said the Egyptian nation doesn’t need the US assistance and \"we don’t allow the US to treat us boastfully and arrogantly\". Unrest in Egypt could turn into \"all-out bloodshed\" in coming days if efforts to find a political solution fail, McCain warned on Tuesday during a visit to Cairo. \"Oh my God, I didn\'t know it was this bad. These folks are just days or weeks away from all-out bloodshed,\" he added. McCain, who unsuccessfully ran for US president in 2008, also met with the Egyptian military Tuesday and urged it to release jailed members of the Muslim Brotherhood whose government the military deposed in what one called a \"coup.\" Egypt plunged into violence after the country’s army ousted President Mohammad Mursi, a senior leader of Ikhwan al-Muslimun party, suspended the constitution, and dissolved the parliament on July 3. The military overthrow followed days of mass protests against Mursi. The army also declared chief justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour, as interim president. Later in July, the Egyptian Prosecutor General ordered the arrest of Muslim Brotherhood leaders, including the supreme leader of the group, Mohammed Badie, on charges of inciting violence. Many people have been killed in violent clashes involving supporters and opponents of Mursi and security forces in the last few weeks.
