Egypt’s interim presidency will soon call for a national reconciliation initiative to put an end to the ongoing conflict following former president Mohamed Morsi’s ouster, according to Ahmed El-Muslimani, media advisor to Interim President Adly Mansour.

In an interview on Al-Hayat TV, El-Muslimani revealed that Mansour has received many initiatives regarding national reconciliation from different parties and powers in Egypt.

“The presidency welcomes all sincere efforts in this regard,” he said.
