(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Egypt's leading figure Mohamed ElBaradei has announced that he has formed a new political party aiming to “rescue the Egyptian revolution”.
"The aim of this party is to save the great January 25 revolution, which has been derailed, and is almost aborted and to restore our unity. When this revolution started we never imagined the conditions we are and the tragic transition we are living today," ElBaradei said in a press conference in Cairo.
ElBaradei, who was the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1997 to 2009, added that his new 'Constitution Party' aims to “rescue the Egyptian revolution from a tragic transitional period under the ruling military”.
"We hope through this party...to start anew to build the country on the basis of democracy and justice," ElBaradei told the reporters.
“The time has come to start a comprehensive political process to achieve the goals of the revolution, the goals of the revolution that we the people of Egypt and its majority had started to achieve -- to live freely in our country, independently and with dignity,” he added.
The military council took power in the aftermath of the last February revolution in Egypt that overthrew long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak’s Western-backed regime.
The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) promised to step down after a six-month period and hand over power to a civilian government, a pledge it has so far failed to fulfill.
