Egypt: the Muslim Brotherhood at a Croassroad

Introduction

This is certainly not the first time the Brotherhood has had to reinvent itself. A first re-founding of the Muslim Brotherhood took place after the death of its charismatic founder, Hasan Al Banna, in 1947. On that occasion the Brotherhood remained without a General Guide – the highest office in a pyramidal organisation – until 1951, when Hasan Al Hudeybi was elected. This marked the beginning of a new phase that culminated in the hanging of Sayyd Qutb in 1966, following Nasser’s repression and the birth of the first jihadist groups.

Introduction

Ce n’est certainement pas la première fois que les Frères musulmans doivent se réinventer. Une première refondation des Frères musulmans a eu lieu après la mort de son fondateur charismatique, Hasan Al Banna, en 1947. À cette occasion, les Frères musulmans sont restés sans guide général – la plus haute fonction d’une organisation pyramidale – jusqu’en 1951, date à laquelle Hasan Al Hudeybi a été élu. Cela a marqué le début d’une nouvelle phase qui a abouti à la pendaison de Sayyd Qutb en 1966, à la suite de la répression de Nasser et de la naissance des premiers groupes djihadistes.
