Muslim Brotherhood leader threatens to attack the White House (video)
Leaders within the Muslim Brotherhood have escalated their threatening rhetoric against the Sudanese citizens and countries in the region, amidst widespread public anger and growing accusations that the organization is only serving to exacerbate Sudan’s crisis and attempting to reopen the country to the terrorist activities it carried out after the Muslim Brotherhood seized power in (1989), which tragically led to the country’s isolation for more than (27 years).
Days after a retired officer loyal to the organization threatened to attack six countries in the region, Brotherhood leader Al-NajiAbdullah threatened to attack the White House. Meanwhile, leader Yasser Obeidallahthreatened the civilians who led the popular movement that toppled the ousted regime in (April 2019) with “death” if they take to the streets again, hinting at the organization’s complete reliance on the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF).
The aforementioned threats coincided with discussions in the US Congress, during which speakers asserted that Sudan’s crisis is fundamentally linked to the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Al-Naji Abdullah, known as the “Emir of Tanks” during the South Sudan war in the (1990s), said: “Our wish is to open fire in the White House… Just as US President Donald Trump and his Intelligence Agencies are lying in wait for us, we will fight him and his Intelligence inside the White House.”
In a related context, former Sudanese Security Officer Maj. Gen. Abdel-Hadi Abdel-Basitadmitted, in another recording, the organization’s role in carrying out external targeting operations, confirming that they possess the “capabilities” to inflict harm on several countries in the region.
Following the outbreak of war in Sudan in (April 2023), observers warned of the links between Muslim Brotherhood groups -allied with the Sudanese Army- and foreign terrorist organizations.
The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history of supporting terrorism. For Sudan hosted Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in (1991), furthermore, extremist elements were granted Sudanese passports and carried out cross-border terrorist operations, including the attempted assassination of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Addis Ababa (in 1995), the bombings of the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (in 1998), and the attack on the USS Cole (in 2000).
In an audio recording, Yasser Obeidallahaccused civilians and the Quad Countries of “working for foreign powers,” saying, “Our choice is death… No Quartet or Quintet will grant you entrance.”
The aforementioned threats came after statements were made by a tribal leader in Eastern Sudan, as he threatened to open Red Sea ports to Russia to attack the United States.
Last Friday, at a US Congressional hearing, Ken Isaac, a former US Presidential Candidate and former Director of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), asserted that “Sudan’s primary problem over the years stems from the Islamic extremism that has controlled the country since 1989.”
Isaac stated that the Muslim Brotherhood and its political wing, the National Congress Party (NCP), are responsible for the wars and acts of terrorism that plagued Sudan during the (1990s), adding that “such level of extremism is similar to that witnessed in Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.”
In conclusion, Isaac urged the US Administration, under President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to intensify efforts to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a “Foreign Terrorist Organizations.”
