Muslim Brotherhood

The Permanent Commission of the Paraguay Congress made a significant move in the fight against terrorism by approving a resolution that designates the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group. This decision comes after years of the group being accused of extremist and violent behavior both in their home country of Egypt and internationally.

Senator Lilian Samaniego presented the resolution, highlighting the group's role in providing ideological support to those who use violence to threaten the stability and security of nations. The resolution also stated that the group's actions go against the principles of democracy and human rights, which are essential for peaceful coexistence.

Since its founding in Egypt in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood has spread its influence throughout the Middle East and beyond. The ideology of the group has been linked to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Al-Qaeda. In addition, they have been accused of inciting violence and engaging in illegal activities. The decision by Paraguay to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization is an important step forward in the global fight against extremism and terrorism. The move sends a strong message to other countries that similar action is needed to combat the growing threat of terrorism.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of upholding democratic and human rights principles, which are necessary for peaceful coexistence. It also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism and extremism.

The designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization by Paraguay is a significant step forward in the fight against extremism and terrorism. It sends a clear message that the world will not tolerate organizations that engage in violence and endanger national security and stability. Other countries should follow Paraguay's lead in combating this dangerous organization.
