The Salafi Al-Asala Party expressed its support for the demonstrations scheduled for November 18 to pressure Egypt's ruling military council to transfer power over to an elected civil authority by April 2012 at the latest. In a statement, the party called upon its members and Egyptians to participate in these demonstrations to restore the revolution and to keep the results of the referendum, which would clarify choices for Egyptians. The party refused attempts aiming to circumvent the will of the citizens and they demand the military council to announce a schedule for transferring authority.
