Egypt’s biggest political group the Muslim Brotherhood clashed with the country’s army leaders on Thursday, accusing them of trying to “marginalise” parliament over the writing of a new constitution.
Mohammed el-Baltagui, one of the leaders of the Brotherhood’s political party, said the movement planned to pull out of a contact group with the army leaders who are in power since the toppling of Hosni Mubarak in February.
On Wednesday, in comments to a small group of foreign journalists, a member of the junta said the army would have a final say over those appointed to write a new constitution next year. – ANP/AFP
