CAIRO — Conflicts within the Muslim Brotherhood led Sept. 13 to violent clashes between advocates and opponents of the intellectual revisions carried out by the group in Fayoum prison. Similar clashes had broken out Sept. 2 in the same prison located in the Fayoum governorate, southwest of Cairo.
Before their regime was overthrown on July 3, 2013, the Muslim Brotherhood had their ducks in a perfect row, but the conflict with the Egyptian state seems to have exposed their weakness and brought to the surface internal conflicts plaguing the group.
