| Mohamed ElBaradei |
Egypt’s Vice President for Foreign Affairs Mohamed ElBaradei has
resigned on Wednesday, 14 August, due to the violent clashes erupted during the
operation of dispersing of Mohamed Morsy’s and Muslim Brotherhood’s supporters
in Cairo and deadly clashes erupted nationwide.
Mohamed ElBaradei declared his resignation in a letter to Egypt’s
Interim President Adly Mansour and stated he resigns due to the excessive
measures used by Egypt’s security forces during the dispersing of the Islamist
sit-ins what caused high scores of dead and injured people.
In addition to that Mr. ElBaradei stated the recently launched operation
was conducted after the discussions held among Egypt’s Armed Forces and
security forces without prior notification of Egypt’s Cabinet of Ministers and
Prime Minister Hazem El-Beblawy.
The Cabinet has announced all the legal measures will be taken to deal
with the protesters and the supporters of Mohamed Morsy holding the sit-ins, but
those measures should be conducted according to the law. Mohamed ElBaradei
stressed he insisted on the peaceful and legal way of dealing with the
protesters, but he made the decision to leave his official post amid the
ongoing clashes and deadly violence erupted in Cairo and other Egyptian cities.
We would remind that Egypt’s police and security forces started early on
Wednesday the operation to disperse the sit-ins of Morsi-supporters as the
protesters remained defiant, so the violent clashes erupted between the CSF and
Morsi-supporters, which caused numerous casualties.
