Morsi calls for unity, offers dialogue

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi enacted a new and divisive constitution Wednesday even as he attempted to reach out to opponents of his Islamist government in his most conciliatory remarks since voters began considering the document. Offering to engage in a national dialogue with an increasingly organized opposition movement, Morsi said in a nationally televised address, “We don’t want to go back to a time when there was one opinion and an artificial majority,” referring to former President Hosni Mubarak’s National Democratic Party.
