The activists stated that the shipment of
explosives endangers Egyptian and Arab National Security and it also means that
Egypt is complicit in this war.
The complainants also added that they cannot let Egypt become a gateway
for military aid to Israeli occupation, as the explosives on the ship called MV
Kathrin are meant for Israeli forces, accused of using them against civilians
in Gaza and Lebanon. They have demanded
the ship be seized and an immediate investigation into the Egyptian firm EMCO
which is said to have assisted with the ship’s arrival.
MV Kathrin reached
the Port of Alexandria on October 28 after many countries, including Malta,
Namibia, and Angola, refused to let it into their ports.
