Emad Abdel Ghaffour
Emad Eddine Abdel-Ghaffour (Arabic: عماد الدين عبد الغفور) is a founder of the newly formed Salafist Islamist Homeland Party in Egypt, the former leader of the Al Nour Party[1] and a surgeon.[2] He was released from detention 2 weeks after the 2013 Egyptian coup.[3] Ghaffour stated at the time that he would withdraw from politics and focus on worship, given the political climate.[3] Ghaffour was instrumental in the creation of the new alliance named the 25 January Salvation Front that calls for the "restoration" of the 25 January revolution; Ghaffour met with Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh to organize its creation.[4]
