‘Clear timeline for transition in Egypt needed'
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 23 - 09 - 2011

CAIRO - The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party has called on the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces to issue a clear timeline for democratic transition in Egypt, declaring that staging protests is no longer the right way to pressure the military rulers into achieving the people's demands.
"The party calls for a timeline detailing all stages of forthcoming parliamentary and presidential elections, along with proposed plans for drafting a new constitution.
“As protesting is no longer the best means to achieve the demands of the people, civil societies, workers' unions and syndicates should play a role in this,” the party said in a statement issued.
It also blasted the delay in handing political power over to an elected civil authority, calling for national elections to be held as soon as possible.
The Revolution's Co-ordination Committee, a group of revolutionaries who organised the 18-day protests that toppled Hosni Mubarak, announced it will hold a mass protest on September 30, in case the laws and regulations for elections and a date for the presidential polls are not announced.
"The SCAF is urged to amend the parliamentary election laws and set a date for the presidential polls before Friday, September 30. Otherwise, the mass protest on that day will turn into a sit-in," the committee said in a statement sent to The Egyptian Gazette.
The statement added that the SCAF should bear responsibility for providing security during the electoral process.
Some other 40 political powers issued a joint statement, during a press conference held in Cairo University's Faculty of Political Science, urging the SCAF to meet the remaining demands of the revolution.
"Still there are some revolutionary demands that need to be met, such as removing remnants of the former regime," the statement read, slamming it for being so slow in reforming the State.
