No official announcement was made in regard to the place of detention of Dr. Mohamed Morsi. And when Westerner voices called for his release, Cairo responded by saying that he was in a safe location and receiving proper treatment. Morsi left the Ittihadiya headquarters and his house in New Cairo and all the signs confirm he will soon stand behind bars to be prosecuted, whether for collaboration, corruption or the killing of the demonstrators. What is important is that his exit to the spotlight has become imminent, unlike his return to the Guidance Bureau! 90 Street in New Cairo – which hosts resorts, villas and luxurious houses – divides the area into two parts. But the houses of the Muslim Brotherhood leaders and the current and former members of the Guidance Bureau are also scattered among the neighborhood's streets and behind the walls of its resorts. Halfway through it is a road linking 90 Street to a zone featuring lavish palaces in the 5th district and the famous Katameya Golf Resort. It is along that road that Dr. Mohamed Morsi's house is located, and what is extraordinary is that nothing indicates that this is where an Egyptian president resided. Indeed, if you do not know that Morsi lived there, the house would easily go unnoticed, knowing that if you happen to pass by the houses of Gamal Abdul Nasser, Anwar al-Sadat or even Hosni Mubarak, you would immediately notice that these walls conceal the house of an important person, or one who used to be important. This is not only due to the fact that these houses are still guarded – even if only in form – but because the place's standing imposes itself on those passing around or in front of it. Morsi's house is an apartment on one of the floors of a villa in the middle of the street. Throughout a year – i.e. during his mandate – its neighboring area was transformed into a military barrack with armored vehicles, elements from the presidential guard, presidential security, general intelligence, national security and general security, officers and soldiers encircling the building, drawing its shape and imposing its status on the passersby, even if despite their will. In addition, strict measures were imposed on the neighbors who had no choice but to succumb or leave. Some succumbed and others left, but they seem to have returned following Morsi's ousting and exclusion from the presidential palace. Naturally, the situation became different after the ousting and Morsi's disappearance. At this level, the Brotherhood believes he is being detained in the presidential guard quarters while the rest of the Egyptians believe he was transferred elsewhere, considering that the simplest security rules in such cases impose the transfer of the "target" to a location no one would expect, especially those vehemently calling for him. Morsi is outside of Cairo in a safe location, guarded by officers and army elements who are protecting him against any harm, while at the same time acting as his jailors and the protectors of society against him and his group! The Brotherhood partisans will be appeased if they get reassurances about their organization, the safety of their leaders and a guaranteed part of the political scene in the future to remain essential players in it. They would also be appeased if Al-Shater exits prison; if the decision to arrest the Guide, Al-Baltagi and Al-Aryan is annulled; if they get promises regarding the closing of the file of Morsi's escape from the Wadi Natroun prison; and if they can ensure that the deposed president's contacts during his mandate and his relations with certain foreign powers and figures are not used to implicate him in intelligence or treason cases, or to accuse him of harming the country's security and safety. On the other hand, the army, headed by Field Marshal Abdul Fattah Sissi, handled the Muslim Brotherhood the same way Morsi handled his oppositionists, i.e. by saying "let them demonstrate." The army will not disperse the Rabiaa Adawiya sit-in by force, although it is warning against the sit-in's impact on the country's situation, and especially its economy. At the same time, the army does not fear the repetition of the President Guard Club incident, if the Brotherhood were to attack any military facility again. Reality points to the fact that the Brotherhood supporters are exhausted by the multitude of marches, the objections of the inhabitants of the neighborhoods they are crossing and their attacks against them. This situation could last for some time, until the army or the ruling authority shows Morsi incarcerated in the Torra prison upon an order from the prosecution and the people.
