The Heat on the future of the Muslim Brotherhood

The Heat

The Muslim Brotherhood went from having a vision for the future of Egypt to being reduced to a terrorist organization with former President Mohamed Morsi now sentenced to death. So, what is the future of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt?

The Muslim Brotherhood came to power in Egypt’s first democratic election after the Arab Spring, but less than three years later, the group is now marred by accusations of terrorism. As former President Mohamed Morsi awaits his fate at the hands of the Egyptian courts, the Egyptian government, under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in power for the past year, is left to battle militant Islamists. CCTV’s Adel El Mahrouky has the latest on the ground in Cairo.

Joining  The Heat to discuss the future of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood is Sahar Khamis, an expert on Arab and Muslim media and associate professor at the University of Maryland. In Cairo, Khaled Dawoud is spokesman for Egypt’s Al-Dostour Party. And in London, Omar Ashour is a senior lecturer in Middle East politics at the University of Exeter.

The Heat continued its conversation on the  future of the Muslim Brotherhood political party and the state of Egypt.
