CAIRO: Egypt’s interim Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei has resigned from his post after hundreds of people were killed in the crackdown by security forces against supporters of the ousted President Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday.
In his resignation letter to the acting President, ElBaradei said that there had been peaceful methods by which the country’s political crisis could have been ended.
“…there were proposed and acceptable solutions for beginnings that would take us to national consensus…It has become difficult for me to continue bearing responsibility for decisions that I do not agree with and whose consequences I fear. I cannot bear the responsibility for one drop of blood,” he wrote.
