Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood is not responsible for the torching of Christian churches, Ahmed Kamal, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing, the Freedom and Justice Party, told CNN's Hala Gorani on Wednesday.

U.S. atop shifting Middle Eastern sands

August 20th, 2013
05:10 PM ET

What do the shifting sands of Middle Eastern power – especially in Egypt – mean for U.S. influence in the region?

Both Dimitri Simes, a Russian policy analyst, and Michele Dunne, a former senior State Department official, agree that U.S. influence is waning, and it is time for a shift in policy.

“It’s not just a decline in American power – it’s also a serious problem with the Obama Administration foreign policy,” Simes told CNN’s Hala Gorani on Tuesday. “It doesn’t seem to have a roadmap.”

Dunne said she may have a different prescription for the waning power than Simes, but agreed that the U.S. hasn’t always taken the right approach.

“The United States hasn’t stood clearly by the principles that President Obama himself articulated at the time of the Egyptian Revolution that the United States would support the growth of democracy there.”

Click above to see Gorani’s full conversation with Simes and Dunne, and hear whether they think the U.S. should cut off aid to Egypt.

Egypt govt.: Removal of Morsy was ‘creative democracy’

August 20th, 2013
04:36 PM ET

By Mick Krever and Claire Calzonetti, CNN

The arrest in Egypt of the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, is “proper” and not just “vindictive,” an adviser to the interim Egyptian president said on Tuesday.

“I wouldn’t say just a victory from a vindictive standpoint, but from the standpoint that we are restoring law and order in a country which has its own sovereign rights,” ElMostafa Hegazy told CNN’s Hala Gorani, who is sitting in for Christiane Amanpour.

Hegazy, speaking from Cairo, said that the military ousting of Mohamed Morsy from the Egyptian presidency was necessary because Morsy “and his group, and his militias, has been terrorizing Egyptian, I would say at least emotionally.”

“Maybe it’s a kind of creative democracy that we haven’t seen,” Hegazy contended, “but because we didn’t have the process of impeaching the president through a parliament, we had to do it the way that we’ve done it.”
