Breaking: ElBaradei Resigns After Crackdown against Protesters

Egypt’s Vice President Mohammad ElBaradei resigned on Wednesday saying he couldn’t bear the responsibility for decision he disagreed with.

ElBaradei’s resignation came after more than one hundred people were killed in a crackdown by security forces to clear protests by supporters of ousted President Mohammad Morsi.

Baradei said “he cannot bear responsibility over decisions he doesn’t agree on,” adding that “there were more peaceful means” to solve the country’s crisis.

Tareq Fahmy, professor of International Relations at Cairo University, told Al Arabiya that Baradei’s resignation will not affect the political roadmap unveiled by the army when the Islamist leader Morsi was ousted on July 3.
