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."

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.

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.
‘I have always
harboured an exaggerated view of my self-
importance,’ he wrote. ‘To put it bluntly, I
fancied myself as some kind of god or an
economic reformer like Keynes, or, even better,
like Einstein.’-The Alchemy of Finance (quoting Soros)

With this group, what could possibly go wrong? /s
From bad to worse.
Well, as they say in Egypt- Hecky Durn.
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”
