International opinion has strongly condemned the crackdown by Egyptian security forces on Wednesday … This condemnation has become part of the chaos in Egypt, but it is doubtful as to whether it will have any effect. The US hasn't announced real sanctions on the Egyptian military, only cancelling joint exercises … The Egyptian military is likely to escape the calamity. The hands of the security forces are soaked with blood of Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters. But the latter is deemed by the West as disruptive … Underdeveloped countries have few choices in political transformation with all the source of reform imagination coming from the West's political dogma.

These tragic deaths should be an urgent call to all Egyptians who will know that such loss is wrong. The many people who died should not be allowed to die in vain and Egypt should now unite to find a peaceful way forward to find a new inclusive politics that will welcome all strands of Egypt's complex society ... The interim government must work hard to avoid further deaths. The Muslim Brotherhood supporters are deeply angry that their chance at power has been taken away, and they will make as much of their fall as they can … They need to be prepared to take part in the new Egypt, in which they will have an important stake as long as they and all other parties welcome the inclusive nature of democratic government.
