Czech President: Egypt group to blame for migrant crisis

Zeman, information from United Arab Emirates and Morocco

04 January, 13:16

(ANSA-AP) - COPENHAGEN - Czech President Milos Zeman, who is known for his anti-Islam rhetoric, says Egyptian fundamentalist group Muslim Brotherhood is likely to blame for the Europe migrant crisis.

Egypt's government has branded the group a terrorist organization and outlawed it in 2013 after the military overthrew elected Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

Zeman previously called the influx of the migrants who are fleeing war and poverty an "organized invasion" and in a Monday interview with Czech public radio he said: "I think that this invasion is organized by the Muslim Brotherhood." Zeman says information he has received from the leaders of the United Arab Emirates and Morocco that Muslim Brotherhood is an umbrella organization for Islamic militants and that it wants to rule "the entire world" contributed to his conclusion. (ANSA-AP).
