2012-2013 #Egyptian #protests Although initially a political ally of the #MBs Freedom and Justice Party, the #Al_Nour Party soon came to #join the mainly #secular opposition, and were an #active force in the 2012-2013 Egyptian protests that resulted in the 2013 Egyptian coup détat and consequent ouster of President Morsi. Following what Al-Nour described as a massacre on the dawn of 8 July, when pro-Morsi demonstrators were attacked and at least 54 were left dead, Al-Nour in protest withdrew from talks to choose an interim prime minister.Nevertheless al-Nour has not expressed support for the return of Mohammad Morsi to power. The party has advised the interim government on #ministerial candidates.The Nour Party has supported the draft constitution that will be voted on in the 2014 constitutional referendum. @ Wikipedia
