The Egyptian people will not accept the continuation of military rule, said potential presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh at a conference in Turkey. Aboul Fotouh said the serious transitional stage would start after parliamentary elections at the “To Turn from Dictatorship to Democracy” conference. The former Muslim Brother also praised meetings of potential presidential candidates. “We should respect the rights of different Egyptian factions,” said Aboul Fotouh, who said sectarian tensions were made by the former regime. He warned Arab rulers resisting reform saying that they support instability in the region.
