Iranian reformist warns Khamenei of Bashir, Bouteflika's fate
Iranian
Philosopher and leader intellectual reformist Mohsen Kadivar warned Ali
Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, of facing a similar fate to that of Algeria's Bouteflika and Sudan's Bashir.
In an
article published in Saham News, Kadivar, a political dissident, said that
people in Iran accuse Khamenei of dereliction, as he has ignored meeting the basic
needs of the Iranians, to spend money, in exchange, for purposed outside Iran.
He said
that "Iranian state, which is helpless against floods, earthquakes and
other natural disasters should make scientific prediction, tracking to reduce damages,
harms and disasters as its first priority.
"Why
do the people's money go to luxury issues such as nuclear energy or the
ambitious targets like medium and long-range missiles?," Kadivar wondered.
"The
IRGC defended Iran's borders in the war with the regime of Saddam Hussein and
faced separatist armed groups, but after the war with Saddam Hussein, the Revolutionary
Guards became the guardian of religious autocracy," he said.
