An African Union (AU) delegation headed by Alpha Oumar Konare, Mali's former president, will pay a visit to the sit-in at Rabaa al-Adaweya Square in Cairo, the Muslim Brotherhood wrote on its Twitter account on Wednesday.

The delegation, which is currently in Egypt, will meet with leaders of the pro-Mursi National Coalition for Supporting Legitimacy.

The visit's date is not decided yet.

Konare said at a press conference on Wednesday that the AU delegation has heard enough to describe the events of June 30 as a popular uprising, not a coup. The delegation also heard enough to realize that the army's intervention was not to attain power but to prevent a civil war outbreak.

The union’s delegation arrived in Cairo on Tuesday to meet with several Egyptian officials and see the reality of the situation in Egypt in order to look into the decision to suspend Egypt's membership in the union.

Suspending Egypt's activities in the African Union is not a punitive measure but rather a precautionary one to help the union's commission obtain information and open dialogue, the Middle East News Agency reported Konare as saying.
