Report by the Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT), 20 August 2020, www.thecommunists.net
Almedina Gunić, International Women’s Secretary of the RCIT, and Michael Pröbsting, the RCIT’s International Secretary, were invited to speak at a TV-Show on the Arab-language channel Watan TV. The show was dedicated to the 7th anniversary of the horrific Rabaa Massacre. On 14 August 2013 the Egyptian army, under the command of General Sisi, smashed the popular mass demonstrations against the military coup which took place shortly before. This barbarous crackdown resulted in the murder of up to 2,600 demonstrators on a single day!
Watan TV is a prominent satellite TV channel which airs its shows in many countries. The two-hour show saw a number of prominent speakers from various countries. Almedina Gunić is the very first speaker, starting at minute 4:45. Michael Pröbsting’s speech starts at minute 34.58. Both statements are translated into Arab language.
The show was aired on 19 August 2020. It can be currently viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNy2Y_5RoBg. It can be also viewed on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=3072534426148174&ref=watch_permalink.
