Mohamed ElBaradei named as Egypt’s interim prime minister

Prominent opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei has been named as Egypt’s interim prime minister.

Mohamed ElBaradei was appointed following crisis talks led by President Adly Mahmud Mansour – three days after the army removed Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi amid growing nationwide unrest.

The move has in turn triggered mass unrest by supporters of Mohamed Morsi.

Mohamed ElBaradei – a former head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog – is expected to be sworn in later on Saturday.

He and other party leaders attended a meeting called by Adly Mahmud Mansour on Saturday.

Mohamed ElBaradei leads an alliance of liberal and left-wing parties, the National Salvation Front.

More than 30 people died and about 1,000 were wounded in Friday’s protests by Islamist supporters of the deposed president.

The Muslim Brotherhood – to which Mohamed Morsi belongs – has said its followers would remain on the streets until he is restored to office.
