Following the shutdown of its media outlets in Turkey, the Brotherhood launched a second satellite channel against Egypt on November 11 that was dedicated to calling for protests against the Egyptian government. This came 24 hours after the debut of a new satellite station broadcast from London.
In order to broadcast and transmit the demonstrations that its platforms and committees demand in Egypt in order to demonstrate and alter the system, the group claimed to have developed a satellite channel dubbed “Harak 11-11.”
The third front of the Brotherhood, known as the “movement of change,” was allegedly supported by this satellite station. It was led by the “Hasm Movement” leaders and the armed cells of previous leader Mohamed Kamal, who was assassinated in a clash with the security forces in 2016.
These changes occurred 24 hours after the Mahmoud Hussein-led Istanbul Front announced the opening of a new satellite channel that would attack Egypt, call for the overthrow of the government, and organise protests against the regime. The channel would be broadcast from London, the capital of the United Kingdom.
The fugitive journalist Moataz Matar, who had previously fled from Turkey after the Turkish government forced him to do so, is the main manager of the satellite channel, which the group also referred to as the “peoples.” Moataz Matar previously stopped producing content for the satellite channel “Al-Sharq.”
The Brotherhood’s financial arm, notably the Mahmoud Hussein front in Istanbul, and one of the group’s most important leaders, Medhat Al-Haddad, who lives in Turkey, are both sponsoring the satellite channel.
Haddad is also described as the owner of a number of financial holdings and sizable investment firms. He is also Jihad Al-uncle Haddad’s and the brother of Essam Al-Haddad, a foreign policy advisor to Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi.
Notably, the group chose to make the journalist on the run Moataz Matar in charge of the channel in an effort to draw in the remaining broadcasters and media who would depart from Istanbul after their programmes and media operations ceased in accordance with the decision of the Turkish government.
A sizable contingent of the group’s correspondents, technologists, and stomachs will also be employed in the satellite channel’s London headquarters and its upcoming international locations.
It is noteworthy that the group was announced for the first time a few days ago a “third front” in the Brotherhood, after the two Istanbul fronts led by Mahmoud Hussein, and London led by Ibrahim Mounir, under the name “The Movement of Change”.
On Saturday two weeks ago, the third front also met in a hotel in Turkey with the theme “during the era of the martyr,” and it released what is known as the “political document,” in which it endorsed violence and revolution against the Egyptian government.
The group’s former spokesperson, Mohamed Montaser, along with Amr Darraj, Hamza Zouba, Jamal Abdel Sattar, and Amr Hamid are in charge of the front.
This is the purpose of The Brotherhood’s second satellite channel, which is launched after only 24 hours.
