Egypt's Al-Azhar, Islam's highest Sunni seat, has called on the Egyptian people to unite ranks behind the nation's leadership in face of attempts to destabilise the country and disturb public order. In a statement issued on Saturday, Al-Azhar said it is following up the destructive movements seeking to destabilise the homeland, undermine security, spread chaos and disrupt development and investment. The statement hailed the Egyptian people's stance foiling attempts by plotters to destabilise the nation and affirmed conviction in the ability of the state to handle all its domestic issues in a way that meets the interests of the people and their needs.
