Mourad Mouwafi or Muwafi (Arabic: مراد موافي; born 2 February 1950) is an Egyptian politician and major-general. Mouwafi was also the governor of Northern Sinai during a 2011 uprising in the region.[1] He was appointed the Director of the Egyptian Intelligence shortly before the end of the Mubarak regime.[2] He was dismissed by former President Mohamed Morsi from the position on 8 August 2012.
Mourad Mouwafi married in 1978 and had three children.[citation needed]
In 2012, a deadly attack was carried out by suspected Islamists near the Gaza-Israel-Egypt border. Mouwafi revealed that Israel's General Intelligence has provided information to all relevant state authorities on the plot to assassinate 17 Egyptian recruits during the month of Ramadan at mealtime in the Egyptian Rafah.[3] As a result, former President Mohamed Morsi dismissed him from his position as Director of the Intelligence on 8 August 2012.[4]
Moufawi was involved with electoral alliance plans during the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election. It was reported that he intended to establish his own political party that would support Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi should he win the election.[5] Later, Mouwafi was floated as one of the names being supported by the United Arab Emirates to replace al-Sisi based on leaked strategy document.[6]
