Ghannouchi describes Tunisian security as “tyrants”
Despite his continuous attempts to color, deceive, and change the prevailing image of him, the leader of the Tunisian Brotherhood, Rached Ghannouchi, always exposes his “rhetoric and terminology” that is not without exaggeration, extremism and terrorism.
Ghannouchi, while attending, on Sunday, the funeral of a member of the Shura Council of the Ennahda Movement and the former director of the Al-Jazeera office, Farhat Al-Abbar, in the governorate of Tataouine in the south of the country.
And he added in his speech: “Al-Abbar had a lot of courage and was not afraid of poverty, the ruler and the tyrant.”
The legacy of the octogenarian man who set out as a terrorist is still true to his anti-state expressions. Since the seventies of the last century, he has belonged to the Brotherhood and disbelieved the Tunisian authorities in the eighties and nineties, and sent his supporters to burn the security headquarters.
The leader of the Tunisian Brotherhood also considered ISIS one of his sons, in a famous statement in which he said, “They think of me about my youth.”
Ghannouchi’s statements sparked great indignation on the part of Tunisians on social media, denouncing the years of rule by the terrorist organization and the havoc it caused to the country.
terrorist terms
Riad Jarad, a Tunisian journalist, said that Rashid Ghannouchi, who nowadays leads funeral prayers and moves freely from one place to another with the protection of state agencies, today during his eulogy for the former director of Al Jazeera’s office in Tunisia, Farhat Labar, said: “He was brave and did not fear a ruler or a tyrant.” .
Jarad added, in a post he posted on Facebook: “What is known to everyone is that only terrorists use these terms and expressions from a takfiri lexicon with which they usually target the security and military forces and the state in general.”
And he considered that “the Brotherhood is the most despicable thing that has been brought out to the people, and may God protect our people and our country and our valiant homeland from their terrorism.”
Salwa Al-Sharafi, a university professor and researcher in media and communication, criticized Ghannouchi’s characterization of power and security as “tyrants”, asking, “Who is the tyrant… Ghannouchi made a mistake and uttered the word tyrant.”
And she added in a post on her Facebook: “When the noose tightens on them, they return to their language, which indicates their true terrorist ideology.”
And on Thursday evening, Ghannouchi claimed that “Parliament will inevitably return to love who loves and hates whom he hates,” in a speech he delivered during a meeting that included a number of politicians opposing the policy of President Kais Saied, and he also attacked Tunisian President Kais Saied, criticizing his policies.
In 2012, the leader of the Brotherhood’s Ennahda Movement, Rashid Ghannouchi, said that extremist Salafists and ISIS “remind me of my youth,” so the word opened a door of criticism that the movement could not close without saying that “the words were taken out of context.”
