El-Baradei: Army last resort for protecting Egypt

Leading opposition Mohamed El-Baradei said that the Armed Forces are the last resort in protecting Egypt in the absence of the police. In an interview with private-owned channel CBC on Tuesday, El-Baradei said that \"the idea of establishing popular committees mean that we are heading to become another Somalia.\" El-Baradei said the incumbent regime is the only reason behind the current failure. \"It is of the repercussions of the past 40 years,\" he added. El-Baradei noted that Amnesty International issued a statement terming the bills of NGOs and demonstrations as a betrayal of the January 25 revolution. Asked about proposing economic and political solutions for the current crises in Egypt, El-Baradei said he submitted two documents over constitutional principles and economic reform to former prime minister Kamal el-Ganzouri.
