On Monday, President Hosni Mubarak’s newly appointed Vice President, Omar Suleiman, attempted to reach out to opposition groups.

Omar Suleiman: “The president asked me today to start communications with all opposition groups immediately, to start a dialogue about all issues raised, regarding reform of the constitution and legislation, and produce an outcome of suggested amendments and a timeline to implement them.”

Egyptian opposition groups met earlier today to discuss possible negotiations with Mubarak. Al Jazeera reports the Muslim Brotherhood is refusing to talk with the regime. Mohamed ElBaradei has called on Mubarak to leave the country by Friday. ElBaradei, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former head of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency, has emerged as a leading voice of the opposition.
