" Liquidation "

Founded in 1928 , IM had " liquidated " in 1954 . At that time , IM oppose the Anglo- Egyptian treaty was signed , at that time , by President Gamal Abdel Nasser and the British colonial government .

Egypt military will no longer swear allegiance to the president , according to a decree recently published .

In the new soldier 's oath sworn there were sentences containing " duty of my leader " . This sentence replace the phrase : " I will be loyal to the president of the Republic of Egypt " .

This new decree issued on Tuesday ( 08/27/2013 ) by interim President Mansour Adly , Egypt's civilian leaders are seated in power by the military after the overthrow of Mohammed Mursi on July 3 .

" The changes are very positive . Decree is intended to prevent an oath to someone . Decrees already includes the president because he is the supreme commander of the armed forces of Egypt , " military spokesman Ahmed Ali .

" It's a way to foster loyalty to the leader is not to anyone , " said Ali .

However , political observers see the changes this edict was a mere symbolic step .

"I think nobody believed this decree is the initiative of President Mansour , " said Brown .

In short, Brown continued , this decree is a military initiative and approved by the president .

Brown added , in most countries , the military declared his loyalty to the constitution and laws .

" In Egypt , the military no longer has vowed to defend the civil administration , law , or procedure , " said al - Sisi .

In the interim Egyptian government , General al - Sisi vice president and minister of defense .
