Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Saturday that “militias and parallel entities are a reason of the destruction of nations.”
Speaking on the 74th National Police Day, he stressed his country’s categorical rejection of “attempts to divide countries in the region, annex part of them, or establish parallel armies.”
He said the world is grappling with conflicts over land, resources and influence, and witnessing unprecedented ideological and economic clashes.
“The world has room for everyone. Monotheistic religions and human values reject the ugly practices taking place in the world that are threatening to destroy the system of international law and the world order that was formed after World War II,” he remarked.
“Egypt boasts state institutions that will remain factors of stability, security and protection,” he stressed, while warning of the “phenomenon of militias.”
Without giving a specific example, Sisi said that countries that believed militias could play a role in the state later discovered that these groups had a role in their destruction.
Moreover, he declared that Egypt will continue to stand against illegal migration, warning against the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. Their displacement will cause a new wave of migration towards Europe, which will not be able to withstand it, he added.
