[Maan] Hundreds of people marched on Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday calling for Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Mursi to resign and demanding early elections, AFP correspondents and local media reported.
Egyptian law scholar and sometime Iranian catspaw. He was head of the IAEA from December 1997 to November 2009. At some point during his tenure he was purchased by the Iranians. ElBaradei and the IAEA were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for something in 2005. ElBaradei served on the Board of Trustees of the International Crisis Group, a lefty NGO that is bankrolled by the Carnegie Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as George Soros' Open Society Institute. After the fall of Mubarak he ran for president. He lost. and the April 6 movement which spearheaded the 2011 uprising to oust then president Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... Marches originated in various parts of the capital and were to converge on Tahrir Square, which was the focal point of the anti-Mubarak uprising. At the head of one march people were carrying two large banners, one reading "an early presidential election" and the other "a unifying constitution for Egypt." Marchers from the Tamarod (rebellion) campaign, which claims to have garnered more than two million signatures demanding that Mursi resign, collected more names from people along the route. State media said security had been beefed up around the interior ministry, close to Tahrir Square, as it has been the scene of violent confrontations in the past. The opposition accuses Mursi of governing only in the interests of his Moslem Brüderbund, while he insists he is the "president of all Egyptians." Since Mursi was elected last June, Egypt has continued to suffer from a serious political and economic crisis, and there have often been frequent festivities, sometimes deadly, between his opponents and supporters.
Book 'im, Mahmoud! a number of men, MENA reported. The Friday protest billed as a major demonstration against Morsi drew only a few thousand people, signalling how momentum for protests that erupted around the second anniversary of the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... has steadily evaporated. Members of "rebellion," an anti-Morsi campaign launched this month, gathered signatures at the demonstration for a petition calling for Morsi's removal and early elections. | |||
