Press Release
Is the Call for Regime Change or Change of Faces?
Corruption is in the Regime before its Tools and Faces
(Translated)

The facts revealed by Muhammad Ali are not new and are not unknown to the people. People know and understand the corruption of the rulers, but the facts do show the rift within the pillars of the regime itself. The interaction with them (facts) shows the real rejection of the regime and its head in the hearts of the people. After Muhammad Ali, an Egyptian contractor, came out and uncovered the corruption of Sisi and his circle in public, and following-up his activity, his calling on Sisi to step down from governing the country, and confining the problem in Sisi and some leaders of the Egyptian army, it is as if there are those who seek to make this the framework of change without touching the regime's own entity. This contradicts the reality of the Egyptian regime, which has not changed for decades, despite the change in faces based on the implementation of its policies.

Mubarak's palaces and retreats still exist even those that Mohammad Ali pointed out that Sisi's wife had made renovations worth 25 million pounds. Corruption is at the root of the ruling capitalist system and is fertile soil in which corruption grows and thrives. This system will never allow a clean hand to exist within its entity. The environment that it creates accepts only the worst models of human beings. The cure for Egypt's problems is not by changing Sisi and overthrowing him or his stepping down from power without a radical change that uproots this system from its roots. This change requires an alternative project to the ruling capitalist system, by men capable of implementing it, and by unconditional and genuine support and alignment of the sincere in the Egyptian army, any movement or change within the framework of the regime without changing it, puts the country and its people in the closed circle itself and produces a new dictator favoured by the West and may be worse than his predecessor. This is what we advise Muhammad Ali and others who seek change to refer to and make it their desired goal.

In addition, the talk that only a real leadership will make people come out of their homes, it will lead them and reap the fruits of their movement, even if it does not have a different project. That this talk in this case also we will be going around in the same circle. There is no real leadership without an alternative project, any leadership that does not provide the people with a real and clear project that shows its method and how it address people’s problems and how it deals with all their issues, is a leadership that leads people towards the continuation of dependency, subordination and living under capitalism that produces, nourishes and maintains corruption. Therefore we present to you what Hizb ut Tahrir carries:

The only solution that guarantees the success of any revolution in the Muslim countries is to carry the project of the Ummah, which is the implementation of Islam in its state, the Khilafah Rashida (righteous Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, and by getting the support from the people of power and protection, the sincere sons of the Ummah in the army. Anything less would be keeping the country dependent on the West and remain in the subordination and dependency. This is the project that Hizb ut Tahrir presents to the Ummah and calls on the loyal people of the Ummah to carry and embrace it, and the loyal members of the Ummah in the armies to support it, to be put into full implementation, undiminished. This idea has become public opinion in the Ummah that loves its Deen and wants to live under its shade.

Hizb ut Tahrir puts this project in your hands, O people of Kenana, with its full readiness to be implemented immediately and you are at the doorsteps of a new revolutionary wave, to be the alternative that achieves your ambition and tackles all the problems of your life in a real way, not an illusion or a mirage like what capitalism sells you. So carry it, you are its people and deserving of carrying it. Let this be your demand, which you do not depart from. It will please your Lord and by it alone is your liberation and salvation from the clutches of the West and its tools and its rotten system.

Let it be your goal may Allah fulfill His promise through you, and the second Khilafah Rashida (righteous Caliphate) will be by your hands and you win a great victory.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ]

“O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.” [Al-Anfal: 24]
