Leader's Advisor Criticizes OIC Performance during Arab Spring
TEHRAN (FNA)- A top advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader strongly criticized the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) for its inaction and lack of support for the growing waves of Islamic awakening in the Arab and Muslim world.
"The organization has showed no action with regard to the Islamic awakening," Supreme Leader's Advisor for International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati told reporters on Sunday.
"And this shows that the OIC is moving towards inefficiency," he noted.
Since the beginning of 2011, the Muslim world has witnessed popular uprisings and revolutions similar to what happened in Iran in 1979.
Tunisia saw the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in a popular revolution in January, which was soon followed by a revolution which toppled Hosni Mubarak in Egypt in February.
Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and Yemen have since been the scene of protests against their totalitarian rulers, who have resorted to brutal crackdown on demonstrations to silence their critics.
In Libya, euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli on August 22 in a lightning advance, celebrating the victory in Green Square, the symbolic heart of Muammar Qaddafi's regime.
