Nour Party withdraws from army's roadmap

Salafist Nour party has decided to withdraw from the political process under the roadmap announced by the military last week in reaction to the killing of at least 35 people outside the Republican Gurads headquarters in the early hours of Monday. “Nour Party withdraws completely from the political process under the so-called roadmap of Abdel Fatah Sisi,” said the party leader. “(We) will not deal with Adly Mansour, the head of the constitution court – as interim president.” The powerful army announced on Wednesday a roadmap under which elected president Mohammad Morsi was ousted and Mansour was sworn in as interim president. Nour Party was part of the political forces that the army consulted with on the roadmap, and came out to support it.
