Widespread Interest in: MB Election of A New Acting General Guide

The announcement by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) of the election of a new leadership to assume the position of ‘Acting MB General Guide’ has hit the headlines of numerous websites, newspapers and TV stations, where some MB leaders and icons described the move as a significant step.

Numerous local, Arab and regional newspapers and news websites have covered reports related to the MB announcement that Dr. Salah Abdel Haq has assumed the position of ‘Acting Muslim Brotherhood General Guide’, succeeding late Mr. Ibrahim Munir, who passed away last November in the British capital, London.

Social networking sites have seen dissemination of many comments by several MB leaders and icons, describing what has happened as a significant step on the path of ending dissonance and discord within the group, and reuniting the MB ranks once again, referring to Dr. Salah Abdel Haq’s openness to everyone, and his willingness to listen, communicate, and build understanding bridges with all, as it was highlighted in his first appearance immediately after assuming his new position in a special seminar that brought together Brotherhood masses, under the title: “In the Footsteps of Imam al-Banna.. A New Era”.

During the seminar -organized immediately after assuming his new position- Dr. Abdel Haq stressed the significance of drawing inspiration from the legacy of Imam al-Banna’s thought and movement, which provides solutions to many crises raised in our contemporary reality.

It was also declared that “the redefinition and reunification of the group, as well as enhancement of its status, come on top of Dr Salah Abdel Haq’s priorities, in addition to paying special attention to the issue of detainees and their families, and empowerment of the youth, so that they could manage the coming stage.”
