Egypt’s largest opposition group the Muslim Brotherhood said it did not back down from demands for President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation. The group said they will continue to push for the rights of the Egyptian people and the demands of the revolution which, they said, have stripped away the legitimacy of the ruling regime.
On Sunday, the Muslim Brotherhood and other political groups and parties met with Vice President Omar Suleiman, and according to an official statement, the parties agreed that Mubarak would remain in power until the end of his term in September.
However, on its website, the Brotherhood said that “during the national dialogue session on Sunday at the Council of Ministers under the chairmanship of Suleiman, the Muslim Brotherhood said that continued participation in these discussions was contingent on the implementation of the demands advocated by the 25 January protesters."
The protesters are demanding that Mubarak resign before dialogue can begin. Dialogue would include reform of the Constitution, dissolving parliament and the formation of a national salvation government.
