Writer Ali Mohammed al-Surari says in his article that instigating and provoking armed forces and security against the opposition parties and creation a spirit of hatred against the opposition points to the intentions aimed at using the members of those two establishments outside their national and constitutional tasks and duties as defenders of national sovereignty and protectors of democratic legitimacy. It is meant to render them to instruments for carrying out political intentions and whims of those ambitious for practicing illegal domination. The opposition parties have actually felt that instigating armed forces against them and changing the military ideology from protection of the homeland to enmity against the opposition implies various dangers leading to involve the armed forces in internal political conflicts and putting them outside their national and constitutional duties. And that is within a context with the aim of attacking the legitimacy and practicing aggression on the people's rights and stability of the society. That also aims at undermining the values of justice, and equality and meanings of the republican system. This instigation comes in this very time while the country is preparing for the presidential and local elections. This means creation of a fabricated crisis the aim of which is to create abnormal atmospheres precluding the elections to be free and just and to define their results beforehand in favor of the ruling party.
