After the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the College of Commissioners’ decision to dissolve the group, and after the arrest of officials in the group’s guidance office and in its right arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, the Salafist Nour Party has emerged as the representative of Egypt’s Islamist current.
The Nour Party is now seen as a substitute for the Muslim Brotherhood in the negotiations among the existing political forces in the process of establishing new constitutional mechanisms for Egypt.
