President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Thursday spoke out against a crackdown against Islamists in Egypt by the country’s military, urging conflicting sides to compromise and calling on the international community to take measures to put an end to the bloodshed.

Yudhoyono said he understood that the situation in Egypt was “extremely complex and difficult, with not many options.”

“[But] I hope that all sides in Egypt, whether they be the government, military, or Muslim Brotherhood, can exercise the utmost self-restraint and avoid further bloodshed,” the president said in Jakarta. “In my view, the use of force, or worse, excessive military arms is contradictory to the democratic values and human rights.”

Yudhoyono urged the conflicting sides to compromise and find a “win-win solution” to the problem. “What is most critical, however, is to ensure the cessation of violence and the avoidance of more casualties.”

Egypt could learn from a similar situation in Indonesia more than a decade ago, the president dded.

“Indonesia also went through similar processes of reforms and political transformation 15 years ago. With a spirit of collaboration and cooperation between the civilian and the military, Indonesia was able to safely navigate this challenging process.”

Yudhoyono ended his speech with a call to the UN to instigate dialogue and reconciliation between conflicting parties in Egypt, and to the international community to support the measures.

“Indonesia will take an active role, along with other members of the international community, to prevent the situation in Egypt from taking a worse turn of events,” the president pledged.

Separately, House of Representatives speaker Marzuki Alie criticized the military crackdown on members of the Islamist group Muslim Brotherhood, following the toppling of Brotherhood-backed president Mohammed Morsi by the military early last month.

“We’re wondering why the democratization in Egypt has now reversed, with [the emergence] of a tyrant regime slaughtering its people,” Marzuki said in Jakarta. “We don’t know yet exactly why the military chose to take power using a non-democratic way. If Morsi did violate their law, surely there is a constitutional path that they could have taken.”

Marzuki further reminded the Egypt military to respect the remains of dead victims in the military crackdown targeting Brotherhood members by ensuring Islamic burials for them. “Bury them well, according to the religion,” he said.

Indonesians showed their support for victims of bloodshed in Egypt on Thursday as an Egypt health ministry official put the official death toll of Wednesday’s security crackdown at 525, most of whom were Brotherhood supporters.

Several Islamic groups in Indonesia staged small protests in Jakarta, Bandung and other cities, while #PrayforEgypt and #SaveEgypt tags were frequently posted to social media sites.

“… You Can See It In Your News

The final item is this: All around you, dear ones, is proof of what I'm telling you. You have two countries currently in turmoil at the moment, and a third one about to go. All three have been stable for a very long time. Who would have thought that Egypt would be part of this? Egypt seemed to be in balance for decades - or was it? Syria ruled itself with an iron hand and created a stability of power that was absolute. What would then cause these to erupt the way they did and at this time? If you take a look at why, and why now, you'll see the timing is all around 2013 and 2012. And it's around Human consciousness that is starting to be more transparent and saying, "We don't want what we now understand and see is continuing unbalance in our country. We see it never getting better, and now we want finality and we want resolution." That is what you're looking at.

It's ugly to look at this, for there is death, suffering, sorrow and turmoil. There is frustration, and the resolution of it all may take longer than you want it to. But someday you will look back and see the results clearly. Mass Human consciousness is starting to change and demand what it expects in the way of integrity. Governments often want the old ways of power, but their people want schools, hospitals, safe streets and parks, and peace with their neighbors.

So expect more of this, especially this year. The more turmoil you see, the more the puzzle is being worked with. So we close this message the way we started it. I know who you are, magnificent one. I sit at your feet in awe. Do not miss this point! Old souls have been here through all of the transitions of humanity. Do you understand that? Four times you came close to this shift you are today experiencing and four times you missed it. Four times you died in the process of trying. This time you didn't.

Do not miss this: There is something within your Akash, a "remembrance button", that is being pushed and plays an emotion that says, "We've felt this before and it didn't turn out well." Don't let this energy define you. It's the button of duality and fear that says things are always the way they are and they will repeat themselves because that's just the way life works. No it isn't! You are magnificent and you have the ability at this point to finally begin to see it, and to cast all the fears and the voices in the back seat of life and tell them you are in charge now and you are the one driving the car of your reality. That's the message of the day. ….”
