Trump is planning to ban the group, and they're the bogeymen of choice for dictators in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, to name a few. So who are the Muslim Brotherhood?
The White House is working on measures to proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation, according to a report by theUS President Donald Trump decided on the move after meeting Egyptian autocrat, Abdel Fattah el Sisi, in Washington last month.
One of its members, Mohamed Morsi, ruled Egypt for a year as its first and only freely elected president, until he was overthrown by a military coup led by Sisi in 2013. A member of the group assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Ahmed Mahir Pasha in 1945, but the killing was condemned by Banna. That crackdown intensified after an assassination attempt on Nasser, with the Egyptian leader executing and imprisoning the group’s leaders, and imprisoning and torturing its rank and file members.
