Mohamed ElBaradei has become the fourth Egyptian to win the world's most prestigious prize after he and the International Atomic Energy Agency received the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize for their work against the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Egyptian state television on Friday interrupted a soap opera to announce that the director-general of the UN nuclear agency had won the Nobel together with the organisation.
With understandable pride, the news presenter said ElBaradei is the fourth Egyptian to win a Nobel. Ahmed Zewail won the chemistry prize in 1999; Naguib Mahfouz won the literature prize in 1988; and the late president Anwar Sadat won the peace prize in 1979.
There was no immediate comment from the government as Friday is the Muslim weekend in Egypt, but the television ran an interview with the country's ambassador to Austria, Ramzy Ezz Eldin, who said it was "a day of pride for all Egyptians".
In Vienna, where the IAEA is based, ElBaradei, said he was "extremely humbled and honoured".
and me as UN Youth Represintative in Egypt all what I can say Congratulations Dr.ElBaradei with my all Best wishes for next years for the others
and By LOVE& Peace we will reach to the most secure world we deserve to live on it.
