Also it is not generally known that the Youth movements have formed a united command including the 6 April protest movement, the Muslim Brotherhood's youth wing, the Mohamed ElBaradei Support Group, the Young Freedom and Justice Movement and the Democratic Front Party’s youth wing, together with independents. They formed a committee of ten, of which the members are Ahmed Maher and Mahmoud Sami (April 6), Ziad Alimy and Abdel Rahman Samir (Popular Campaign for the Support of Mohammed ElBaradei), Islam Lutfi and Mohammed Abbas (Young Muslim Brothers), Shadi Ghazaly Harb and Amr Salah (The Liberal Front), Khaled Sayed and Mustafa Shawki (Youth for Justice and Freedom), Wael Ghoneim, Sali Mor, Abdel Rahman Fares and Nasser Abdel Hamid (Independents)
