Baradei was appointed interim prime minister but the appointment was protested by the Muslim Brotherhood. Baradei led the International Atomic Energy Agency from 1997 to 2009 and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. Interim Prime Minister Hazem El Beblawi announced he will establish an interim government mainly composed of liberals to lead Egypt, under an army-backed "road map", to fully restore civilian rule.
