We hate these disturbers who disrupt every step made by the people. They know we are aware of their real size. They fear to enter the race because they will be uncovered to the sides they work for. Therefore, they always shun participation, arguing that the elections are fraudulent. What of their attitudes and practices within their parties? They must show us first that they are democratic inside them. They are monopolizing inside them the voices of militants for decades. As the proverb says “If you have a glass house, don't throw stones”; the wise understands.
