№099, The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, No Time for Obituaries - Rękawek, Kacper (Polski Instytut Spraw Międzynarodowych, 2014)
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB) is the oldest socio-political movement active in Egypt. Its members and structures are now undergoing one of the most severe crackdowns in its history, at the hands of an Egyptian government that constituted itself in the aftermath of a popular revolt followed by a coup against a short period of MB rule in 2013. The MB, however, although dispersed and fragmented, is still not defeated, and faces options related to its future political trajectory. This paper discusses these options and concludes that the MB is most likely to ready itself for a "long struggle" scenario that would amount to waiting out the period of repression and reconstituting itself on a bottom-up basis
