VOICED: ElBaradei: from UN nuclear chief to Egypt's 'reform hope'

Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is seen as a potential catalyst for change in Egypt after decades of Hosni Mubarak's rule. ElBaradei's universalist message emphasizes freedom, dignity, and respect for fundamental rights. His political party is advocating for constitutional reforms to allow non-regime-vetted candidates to run for presidency. ElBaradei's campaign is gaining traction, especially in Mansura, where he is warmly received. His media presence and local appeal are significant, as he is perceived as a clean figure due to his distance from Egypt's political scene. However, his campaign faces challenges, with opposition activists being arrested for supporting political reforms.
