CAIRO: The Salafist front has announced plans to join the protests in Tahrir Square, scheduled tomorrow, under the slogan “the only demand – together against the remnants of the former regime”. Demonstrators will protest the attempts by the Pre-revolution figures to return the key elements of the former regime to power. A statement from the Salafist Front on Wednesday said its decision to take part had been prompted by Egypt's political situation, adding that the outcome of the current actions will most likely determine the success or failure of the January 25th Revolution. They said that they rejected the involvement of presidential candidates associated with the Mubarak regime, such as Omar Sulieman, Amr Moussa, and Ahmed Shafik by any means, whether the parliament decides to pass the disenfranchisement law or not. It should be mentioned that Friday's planned protest was called by the Muslim Brotherhood on its official website on Wednesday. Mahmoud Hussein, the organization's Secretary General, said that the group should hold a million-man demonstration, with the aim of “protecting the revolution”. Hussein added that Friday's demonstration is only one of several actions in which the Brotherhood plans to take part along with other political groups and movements.
