| Egyptian Military Leader and Mursi |
Egypt's interim President Mansour Adly, Tuesday (6/8), denounced the statement of U.S. Congressman John McCain about what is happening in Egypt. He regarded the statement as interference unacceptable in the internal affairs of Egypt.
Egyptian presidential media adviser Ahmed al-Mislimani, citing Mansour, said McCain falsify the facts and bizarre statement to be strongly resisted. Once the report quoted by the official Egyptian news agency, MENA.
U.S. President Barack Obama has refrained from using the word "coup" to describe the latest political events in Egypt. But McCain insisted it "was a coup" and it can cause impact, because U.S. law called on the government to halt aid to any country where the military overthrow of a democratically elected leader.
Although Muhammad Mursi government should be censured, McCain on Tuesday (6/8) as cited Menan said in Cairo, "Conditions Moursi ouster was a coup. This is not a transfer of power through the ballot box."
Together with his colleague, Lindsey Graham, McCain arrived in Cairo on Monday (5/8) for a two-day visit to meet with Egypt's interim leaders and members of the Muslim Brotherhood, including those from the Freedom and Justice Party.
The two officials, who urged the Egyptian authorities to release political prisoners and launch a national dialogue, came to Cairo within the framework of extensive mediation efforts by foreign countries. The goal is to attempt to resolve the dispute between the interim government and supporters of Mursi.
But al-Mislimani said foreign pressure has exceeded international standards. Even if the label overthrow Mursi as a "coup", McCain said his visit is not to deal with the past but help Egypt move forward in a peaceful and democratic.
Two U.S. senators (AS) asked the government of Egypt's military-backed interim release all political prisoners, including the deposed president, Mohammed Mursi. John McCain and Lindsey Graham also asked for a national dialogue involving the Muslim Brotherhood.
Previously, they were met with senior Egyptian authorities as part of the U.S. diplomatic mission to end the political crisis in the country. More than 250 people have been killed since the military ousted Mursi on July 3. Two republican senators arrived in Cairo on Monday (5/8) afternoon at the request of President Barack Obama.
On Tuesday, they made conversation with Egypt's interim vice president, Mohammed ElBaradei, Hazem Beblawi prime minister and military chief, Gen. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.
Mena news agency reported the BBC reported that discussion to discuss how to end political polarization and violence. They also met with the wing of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. By calling the ouster as a coup Mursi, senator warns inclusive democracy is the only path to stability.
"The ruling is not selected. Chosen people imprisoned. Status quo is unacceptable," said Senator Graham. Mursi and a number of prominent Muslim Brotherhood is still being held on suspicion of multiple cases.
Hundreds of their supporters took to the streets to ask for repayment Mursi became president. While the government has promised to disperse the supporters of Mursi in two places and Adawita Rabaa al-Nahda Square.
Secretary-General (Secretary General) of the United Nations (UN) Ban Ki-moon, again called for the release of ousted Egyptian president Mohammad Mursi.
"He (Ki-moon) called for an end to all violence and urged interim authorities to guarantee the protection of human rights of all Egyptians, including freedom of speech and assembly," according to a UN statement, which refers to the Ki-moon's message to the Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, Tuesday (6/8).
Still according to the statement, Ki-moon stressed that an inclusive political process and peace is the only viable way to progress in Egypt.
As is known, the Mursi have been detained at an undisclosed location since his ouster in a military coup on July 3, 2013 last.
