Agreement "Committee for reform" The Muslim Brotherhood: "not enough"

CAIRO - As the crowd in Tahrir Square celebrated its "martyrs" for the thirteenth consecutive day demanding the departure of Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian Vice-President Omar Suleiman began the dialogue with social forces and opposition members. The meeting was also attended by the Muslim Brotherhood, the main anti-government group, banned from politics for decades but at the same time tolerated.

After the talks, the government announced an agreement that provides the roadmap for the transition. But other opposition forces, beginning with the Muslim Brotherhood, have declared themselves dissatisfied primarily because it was not accepted the main demand of the movement, the removal of Mubarak.

Suleiman has in fact refused to assume presidential powers. In the evening, the position of Barack Obama: "The Muslim Brothers do not have majority support," said the American president, calling for the formation of a representative government. " The news of the day - VIDEO Showing the chest, police fire path to reform.

The government has announced that during the meeting was agreed on the formation of the Joint Committee by March the government and opposition to constitutional reforms, which implies that Mubarak remains in power to "drive" the transition. The agreement announced by the executive order also provides that the restrictions imposed in recent weeks to the web, the media and communications in general.

The government has pledged to release the arrested protesters and to lift the emergency laws "based on the security situation." But he also stressed that does not accept and will not accept "foreign interference". Dissatisfied with the Muslim Brotherhood. But the transition seems still far off, especially after the Muslim Brothers have called "insufficient" the proposals made by Suleiman.

"This statement is insufficient," said Mohamed Mursi, senior director of the Islamic movement, during a press conference. "The demands are always the same. They have not responded to the majority of the requests, and only some superficial way," said Essam Al Aryan, another senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The creation of a committee for constitutional reform is seen as a "first step" between what the regime has to do to meet the demands of protesters. In this phase, the Muslim Brotherhood, has added another member of the group, Saad Katatni, want to explore the "real intentions of the government" and the only "dialogue does not lead to anything, most of the requests has not been met." First you will stay again without following the main claim of the square, the immediate resignation of Mubarak, who instead wants to stay in power until elections in September.

"We asked the President to delegate his powers to the vice president that gives him powers to confromemente Article 139 of the Constitution, but he refused," said a source present at the meeting, referring to Suleiman. Young people form a coalition. "Circumvent the requirements of the people," said Mohamed Adel, the leader of the youth movement on April 6, one of the promoters of the protest.

Youth groups have formed a coalition, ensuring that remain in Tahrir Square until Egyptian President will not resign. In a statement, "the unified leadership of the young revolutionaries in anger," he promised not to leave the square until their demands are not met, primarily "the resignation of the president." The coalition includes representatives of the movement on April 6, the Group for justice and freedom, campaign door to door grassroots campaign of support ElBaradei, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Democratic Front.

All together call for the immediate lifting of emergency rule, the dissolution of Parliament, the formation of a government of national unity to ensure a peaceful transition of power and constitutional reform. It also asked that a commission of inquiry formed to investigate "the dead and wounded in the chaos of last week." El Baradei: "Dialogue opaque".

The former head of the IAEA back in Egypt to support the protest against Mubarak was not invited to the meeting with Suleiman. Interviewed by NBC Nobel Prize for Peace has called "opaque" the process of dialogue: "Nobody knows who talks to whom at this time (...). The negotiation is managed by Vice President Suleiman, the army and this is the problem.

The president is a military, the military is a vice president and the prime minister was a soldier. I think if you really want to boost confidence is essential to mention the civilians and that is why I suggested to put a plan in place transition in the framework of which the head of the transitional government there is a presidential council consisting of three persons, and including the army.

" Tests of normality in Cairo. Thousands of people continued to patrol Tahrir Square, the heart of the insurgency. Today they celebrate "The Day of the Martyrs", in memory of the victims of the protest that according to the UN could be 300. Photo Copts pray in the streets - deserted Pyramids, closed Ghiza government and armed forces are doing everything possible to return the country to normalcy.

Today banks have reopened, closed for a week. The military has strengthened its presence in downtown Cairo, with tanks and sandbags at all major crossings, and tried to reopen at least part of Tahrir Square to traffic. The same army commander Hassan al-Roweny toured the square trying to persuade the demonstrators to retreat.

But all efforts in this direction have proved futile. So the protest continues, although the population is growing desire to return to a regular life. Even among those who participated in events aimed at ending the thirty-year regime of Mubarak. The revolt has heavy consequences on the lives of the Egyptians: the shops are closed and it is hard to obtain supplies of essential goods, prices rose and the economy as a whole, starting from the tourism sector, suffering from the situation.
