The Islamic Brotherhood’s “Istanbul Front” decided to appoint Mahmoud Hussein as the acting guide of the organization, to succeed Ibrahim Mounir, who passed away on Nov.4.

The move was seen by researchers in fundamentalism as “a challenge to the decision of the London Front, which was led by Ibrahim Mounir, and which had previously appointed Mohieddine al-Zayet, as a temporary acting guide.”
