(Hat tip to Egyptian Chronicles)

Last week, Mohammad el Baradei --- the former director of the International Atomic Energy Agency and a key actor in the National Alliance for Change --- issued a video response to the Parliamentary elections that gave more than 90% of the seats to the ruling National Democratic Party.

El Baradei had called for a boycott of the elections, as participation amounted to a violation of the "national will" for democracy. 

In the video, El Baradei extends the demand for a united opposition which boycotts the 2011 Presidential election, extended to return Hosni Mubarak for a sixth term. He added that those who benefit from the regime, such as businessmen, should realise that it will not continue ruling forever and should not be part of the process destroying Egypt.

To the regime, El Baradei send the message that this is its last chance: "We do not have real industry , we do not have real agriculture, we laugh at ourselves and the world laughs at us.... You are not investing in your future, you are investing in the end of what you have, in destroying Egypt and in destroying the future generations."

El Baradei has also given an interview to the German magazine Der Spiegel.
