Upcoming surprises
The Tunisian journalist, Jamal Ben Omar, said that the dismissal of Judge Bashir Al-Akrami a year ago was the beginning of lifting the cover that prevented the opening of the file of the deportation of terrorists and many other files.
Ibn Omar confirmed to “Sky News Arabia” that Al-Akrimi, known as the “Brotherhood Judge”, worked to disrupt the investigation of thousands of files related to terrorism and was dismissed by the head of the Court of Cassation on charges of covering up terrorism-related files, including the assassination of Shukri Belaid and Mohamed Brahmi.
He pointed out that “the Tunisian authorities have dug into this black file, and the coming days will witness dangerous surprises that will unveil many Brotherhood names that secured the way for them and hid the traces of those involved in the deportation and killing of young people in hotbeds of tension, all files will be opened, a major earthquake will expose the black decade years. “.
Youth Recruitment
“Every follower of Tunisian affairs knows that the Ennahda movement has a close relationship with terrorism in several respects, as it was a contribution to the emergence of jihadist Salafism, especially Ansar al-Sharia, from which militant groups branched out, such as the Uqba Ibn Nafeh Brigade of al-Qaeda, and the Jund al-Khilafa Brigade pledged allegiance to the terrorist organization ISIS.” According to Ibn Omar.
He explained that “the Ennahda movement, when it assumed the reins of power, tried to attract jihadist Salafism with money and extremist rhetoric, to exploit them against its political opponents, and during that period advocacy tents spread that broadcast violent hate speech.”
“These tents turned into attracting young people to recruit them for the war in Syria, serving regional agendas in cooperation with the Brotherhood in Libya by mobilizing terrorists from the Arab Spring countries and sending them to Syria,” according to Ben Omar,
