It has been a little more than two years since the Egyptian army and police forces broke up the sit-in held by supporters of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated former President Mohammed Morsi.

The events took place Aug. 14, 2013, following the revolution of June 30, 2013, that ousted Morsi. Ever since Egypt’s army decided to side with the Egyptian people and overthrow Morsi, talks about reconciliation between Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood can be heard.

However, an imminent reconciliation may be difficult in light of the known facts. On Sept. 23, 2013, an Egyptian court ordered a ban on the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities and all its affiliated institutions and the seizure of its assets and headquarters. Then in late December 2013, Egypt’s government classified the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.

Moreover, the Muslim Brotherhood youth seem to oppose the idea of ​​reconciliation. Spokesman for the group, Mohammad Muntasir, wrote in one of his statements on his Facebook page mid-May 2015, “Nothing can speak louder than retribution and the blood of martyrs shed unjustly by the killers. Retribution and a revolution that would decapitate heads is the only solution with these killers.”
