CAIRO: The Egyptian government has decided to dissolve the Muslim Brotherhood as a registered non-governmental organisation (NGO), the state-run Al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Friday.
The decision applies to the NGO registered by the Muslim Brotherhood in March in response to a lawsuit that argued the group had no legal status.
“The minister’s decision has in fact been issued but it will be announced at the start of next week in a press conference,” the newspaper quoting Hany Mahana, the spokesman for the minister of social solidarity, said.
