Muslim Brotherhood: Symbolic Victory

Mohammed Morsi Dept: Morsi will become the first democratically elected civilian to hold the office of president a symbolic victory in the Muslim Brotherhood's fight for power against the country's military-led government, according to CBC. "I pledge to be a president who serves his people and works for them," Morsi said on his official web page. "I will not betray God in defending your rights and the rights of this nation." Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood called for national unity after being declared the winner in Egypt's presidential runoff on Sunday, marking a turning point in a country struggling to move away from military rule. The Muslim Brotherhood said in a statement late Sunday that Morsi had resigned his positions in both the Brotherhood and its Freedom and Justice Party, fulfilling a campaign promise.
