'Egypt's reform plans not sufficient'
Feb. 7, 2011
The group, along with other opposition parties, held negotiations with the government team headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman to find a solution for the current standoff in the country, AFP reported on Sunday.
The group says Cairo has failed to respond to many of its demands. It insists that the protesters' demands should be met.
Leading opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei said he had not been invited to the negotiations.
Despite the talks, millions of Egyptian protesters are massing in Cairo's Liberation Square demanding the ouster of Mubarak.
Following the talks, the government announced that the parties will form a committee to look into constitutional amendments and reform.
The government has also agreed to loosen media curbs, to lift a thirty-year emergency law and reject foreign interference.
Egyptians on Sunday took to the streets on the thirteenth consecutive day of demonstrations called the "Day of Martyrs" to honor hundreds of protesters killed during the revolution.
Hostility toward the United States is widespread among the crowds as they hold Washington responsible for President Mubarak's thirty-year rule.

ernment protesters say they will remain in the Liberation Square until they get freedom and democracy in Egypt.
