In an aired conference on Tuesday, European Union Foreign Policy Chief Catherine Ashton and Egypt's vice president for foreign affairs Mohamed ElBaradei said that stopping violence is their priority and urged inclusiveness in the democratic transition.

"The leaders of this country must make the right decisions to move forward," Ashton said.

ElBaradei insisted that violence does not heal wounds and that all of Egypt's factions must come together to write a constitution together and form a new parliament.

He added that Salafis (ultraconservatives) and even members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which propelled ousted President Mohamed Mursi to power, must join the process.
