Egypt crisis: Mansour appoints ElBaradei as interim PM
BBC ^ | 6 July 2013 Last updated at 14:25 ET

Leading liberal Egyptian politician Mohamed ElBaradei has been named interim prime minister.

He was appointed following crisis talks led by President Adly Mahmud Mansour - three days after the army removed Islamist leader Mohammed Morsi amid growing nationwide unrest.

The move has in turn triggered mass unrest by supporters of Mr Morsi.

Mr ElBaradei - a former head of the UN's nuclear watchdog - is expected to be sworn in later on Saturday.

He and other party leaders attended a meeting called by Mr Mansour on Saturday.

Mr ElBaradei leads an alliance of liberal and left-wing parties, the National Salvation Front.

In a BBC interview on Thursday, he defended the army's intervention, saying: "We were between a rock and a hard place."

"It is a painful measure, nobody wanted that," he said. "But Mr Morsi unfortunately undermined his own legitimacy by declaring himself a few months ago as a pharaoh and then we got into a fist fight, and not a democratic process."

Obama backing ElBaradei?

Beirut — According to well-connected Washington sources, including a Congressional staffer whose job description includes following political events in Egypt, once it became evident that Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi might well be ousted by Egypt’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), it did not take Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei, the Sharia legal scholar, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and for 12 years (1997-2009) the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) very long to contact the Washington, DC law firm of Patton Boggs. That was this past Tuesday.

When Mubarak stepped down El Baradei was the popular choice on American news programs. I always figured it was because he was the only Egyptian they knew.

International Crisis Group

ElBaradei served on the Board of Trustees of the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental organization that enjoys an annual budget of over $15 million and is bankrolled by the Carnegie, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, as well as George Soros’ Open Society Institute. Soros himself serves as a member of the organization’s Executive Committee.

He was a board member on the International Crisis Group till he went to Egypt upon the fall of Mubarak. He fellow board members include the likes of George Soros, Kofi Annan, Javier Solana, Wes Clark, Thomas Pickering etc.

I could not have thought of any other person that is more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama,"

-Mohammad Elbaredai

It might unify the country in opposition but I don't see it turning out well.

Gee, a secular internationalist UN type. Who would have thought?

Sort of like appointing Zbigniew Brzezinski “interim president” of the US, if the election was overturned because by accident, a conservative Republican had been elected.

It all comes clear. The money and organizing muscle behind the ‘protests’ and the lack of outcry by the global elites. My joy at the fall of the MB is now tempered with dismay. I’m now expecting similar outcomes in Tunisia, Jordan etc. It also explains the ‘protests’ in Turkey.

harboured an exaggerated view of my self-

fancied myself as some kind of god or an
economic reformer like Keynes, or, even better,
like Einstein.’-The Alchemy of Finance (quoting Soros)

This is like that old bit Dennis Miller did about german reunification back in 89:

“I view this in much the same way I view a possible Dean Martin - Jerry Lewis reconciliation: I never really enjoyed their old sh!t,...... and I’m not sure I need to see any of their new sh!t either”
