“The leadership also merged a number of committees to reduce the number of party officials and curb the organization’s overall spending. In particular, committees pertaining to political action and online communications were reduced in favor of preaching, rights, and charity committees, which had been neglected under Morsi. But the more important change is the election of the committee to manage crisis and mobilization, which will pursue action to topple the Sisi government and that includes Brotherhood members from both at home and abroad.
To achieve this end, the Muslim Brotherhood’s youth are looking to restore ties with civic opposition movements with whom they protested alongside in the January 25 revolution. Brotherhood youth are trying to find ways to cooperate despite their base’s hostility toward some of the groups that called for Morsi’s removal. Joint committees from the two have already been in contact over the past month. Recent events have also supported this approach, especially after the January 25 killing of Shaima al-Sabbagh, an activist from the Socialist Popular Alliance party who was taking part in a peaceful march toward Tahrir Square to place flowers at the memorial for martyrs of the revolution.
Within the Muslim Brotherhood, the growing role of the youth will likely intensify the conflict, given Sisi’s complete rejection of the organization. Against the ongoing crackdown—more than 47,000 Egyptians are imprisoned, according to the Egyptian Coordination of Rights and Freedoms—the Brotherhood’s youth is growing more committed to revolutionary action. They have already raised slogans, such as “anything aside from bullets is peaceful,” calling for escalatory measures. These measures would include torching police headquarters and stations, government offices, public buses, and power plants, in addition to blocking vital roads.”
