Former diplomat, politician and presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei has risen again, this time to lead Egypt’s opposition movement.

ElBaradei has become the coordinator of the National Salvation Front, a newly unified secular movement determined to oppose Egypt’s Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.

The group threatens nationwide protests until Morsi responds to calls for national dialogue over a controversial draft Constitution and retracts a recent decree granting himself sweeping new powers.

At a news conference Wednesday announcing his new position, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former head of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urged the president to open his eyes.

Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood backers, said ElBaradei, should “see what is happening in the Egyptian street, the division, the polarization. This is something that leads us to violence and worse,” he said, according to the Egypt Independent.
