The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Studies (NSCIA) has expressed worry over what it described as the massive waste of human lives and reckless maiming of protesting citizens of Egypt,
saying nations with conscience across the globe should prevail on the United Nations (UN) to intervene and take decisive action to end the crisis.
In a statement issued by its Secretary General, Prof Ishaq Oloyede in Abuja yesterday, the NSCIA which commended Nigeria and “other right-thinking nations for their principled positions on the crises and calls for concerted efforts towards actualization of justice and Rule of Law in Egypt” also said “all Nations of conscience to prevail on the United Nations to intervene decisively and find an instant, amicable, just and sustainable solution to the unfolding unfortunate episode in Egypt.
“The brutal murder of hundreds of armless civilians in the course of their legitimate right to protest in despicable and indefensible. The violation of the sanctity of the consequence of which is too grievous to imagine. The tacit support of the serial murder and the incoherent condemnation of the callous massacre in Egypt by a section of the International community are not only heartless and inhuman but also sacrilegious and demonic”, it added.
Noting that “humanity stands to progress if brutality and impunity are as wicked and lawless creed, race and nationality of the victims are irrelevant in the condemnation of abomination, NSCIA said, “It is unfortunate that both the Arab LEAGUE and the OIC have lost an independent voice to be positively helpful to Egypt at this point when truth, impartiality and frankness are required of the International Community.
“The NSCIA calls for cessation of hostilities; unconditional release of the elected President Mursi and all other political detainees; constitution of an Independent electoral agency under the supervision of the United Nations; a truly representative national dialogue and an all-inclusive electoral process devoid of MOB ‘democracy’ and anarchy being instituted as alternative to despotism and poor Governance in certain parts of the world”, it added.
The statement made available to Afric-tv24 reads in part: “The NSCIA sends its heartfelt condolences to relations, families and friends of the victims of the unwarranted genocide and requests for constructive dialogue towards the quick resolution of the logjam in Egypt. The ICC needs no invitation to initiate the process of investigating and bringing to justice the culprits of this impunity.
“While wishing the wounded quick recovery, NSCIA reiterates its call on the Authorities in Egypt to halt the assault and explore reasonable dialogue to avert civil war and its devastating consequences on Egypt in particular and the Arab world in general.”
