Baku-APA. As the dispersing operation in Egypt early Wednesday left dozens killed and hundreds injured, analysts rule out the escalating violence as the beginning of a civil war, but rather consider it as "Muslim Brotherhood's last battle ", APA reports quoting Xinhua
Major General Farouk el Mikrahy, security expert, said the two sit-ins in Rabaa and el-Nahda will be cleared in a few hours, stressing that violence will end once the leadership of the Brotherhood are arrested.
On Tuesday night, one person was killed and several others injured during clashes between supporters and opponents of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in Cairo; The Brotherhood also tried to siege several government miniseries, blocked several roads and paralyzed the traffic in different parts of the capital.
After the beginning of security operations early Wednesday, groups of Brotherhood supporters went to streets, blocked several roads and tried to storm several police stations in an attempt to repeat the same scenario of Jan. 28, in which the security apparatus collapsed after the burning and storming a large number of police stations.
General Fouad Allam, security expert and former deputy of the disbanded State Security Apparatus, described the behavior of the Brotherhood members as insane and unpatriotic.
Ruling out that the scenario of January 2011 would be repeated, Allam told Xinhua that "The security forces are ready for such acts and are able to end the protests within 24 hours."
Noting that pro-Morsi sit-ins failed to win the sympathy of Egyptians, Osama el-Dalil, political analyst in Al-Ahram Al-Araby magazine, said that what the Brotherhood is doing now in the streets are criminal and terrorist acts, which "is really violating the Islamic teachings."
"They were in a zero-sum game, to take everything or die," el- Dalil told Xinhua.
The Brotherhood's fight for the return of Morsi "will not last a long time," el-Dalil predicted.
Allam also urged Brotherhood to listen to the voice of reason and to stop violent reactions, otherwise the casualties will be even larger.
"But the problem now is that Brotherhood wants to have more casualties, so that they can win the sympathy of people," Allam suspected.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Egyptian interim government held Brotherhood leaders responsible for the bloodshed in the streets and demanded them stop inciting violence.
Since the beginning of the crisis, both Muslim Brotherhood and the administration were criticized by various political forces. Some blamed the Brotherhood for refusing several initiatives by foreign and local mediators to end the conflict, including a latest initiative introduced by Al-Azhar, while others accused the government of not doing much to end sit-ins and of allowing foreign interference in Egypt's internal affairs.
