The banned opposition group is conducting talks with Mohammed ElBaradei, the former UN nuclear watchdog chief, about the formation of a unity government.

The banned Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s largest opposition group, told the German Press Agency DPA Sunday that they are in talks with other anti-government figures to form a national unity government without President Hosni Mubarak and his ruling party.

Gamal Nasser, a spokesman for the Brotherhood, told DPA that his group was in talks with Mohammed ElBaradei – the former UN nuclear watchdog chief – to form a national unity government without the National Democratic Party of Mubarak.

The group is also demanding an end to the draconian Emergency Laws, which grant police wide-ranging powers The laws have been used often to arrest and harass the Islamist group.

  1. I don’t think that i’m the only one having a dreadful déjà vu moment, involving another weak and pathetic POTUS whose name forever will be associated with an additional – and from a Western standpoint – disasterous revolution, in that region. May I hopefully be proven wrong, both about Obama’s cowardly inaction to support a Muslim ally with a Western-friendly leadership and the grim outcome of the volatile situation, should the Islamofascist Muslim Brotherhood come to power in Egypt.
