The role Egypt plays in the horn of Africa and the Middle East has made its foreign policy not just a concern of Arab nations but a preoccupation of Western interests as well. Following the Arab spring, the oldest religious group in Egyptian history, the Muslim brotherhood came into power even producing the president in the person of Mursi Mohammed. As at the time of the Muslim Brotherhood’s creation in 1928 it was apolitical, opposed to violence, an advocate of Islam and used by successive governments to achieve different agenda. However, the group has since evolved to become a political linchpin in the restructuring of Egyptian society following the revolution. In tracing the groups rise to political power, a detailed account has been given about the ideology, evolution of the group, its activities and challenges. An analysis of the personality of Mohammed Mursi has also been made. This has been done in order to find out where foreign policy decisions under the new regime emanate from, and to also predict where future policies might be headed. It has been established that the Muslim brotherhood are moving gradually towards achieving their goals of Islamizing Egypt but may not be able to immediately project their interests based on the need to first restructure the Egyptian society and economy. It is therefore predicted that in the near future Egypt will become an Islamic state with consequences for gender based rights and abandonment of pro-Western foreign policies.
