Free Egyptians Party founder Naguib Sawiris rejected calls for a million-man protest Friday in response to a mass protest by Islamists on 29 July.
“I don’t believe there’s a reason for a new million-man protest by national liberal forces or Sufis,” he wrote on Twitter on Sunday, calling for national unity.
In another tweet he called on people to respect “the holiness of the month [Ramadan] and give the country a chance to breath and promote its economy," demanding that different forces unite and prepare for elections.
Around 30 political and religious movements and parties called for protesting on Friday under the motto “For the Love of Egypt” in response to Islamists' mass protest, during which they called for the application of Islamic rule.
