Cairo -
The Muslim Brotherhood continued to reject Egypt's revolutionary transition on Thursday and said it was determined to push for the reinstatement of President Mohamed Morsi.
The group has persistently attacked the political roadmap that was supported by a coalition of anti-Morsi forces. The interim President, Adli Mansour, has said he would welcome the involvement of Brotherhood members, but the group's leaders have so far refused. “We will continue our peaceful resistance to the bloody military coup against constitutional legitimacy,” the Brotherhood said in a statement.
Cracks have begun to develop in the front which emerged against Morsi. Politicians and activists who spearheaded the former President's demise have expressed concern over the constitutional declaration issued by Mansour this week. Many were angered after not being consulted over the document, which outlined the interim leader's powers and provided a blueprint for drafting a new constitution.
Following Morsi's downfall, the Egyptian authorities initiated a crackdown against the Brotherhood. Several arrest warrants were issued, including for the group's Supreme Guide, Mohamed Badie. - The Independent
