Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials criticized the security forces' unjustified violence towards Tahrir protestors who demand freedom and social justice. One FM official criticized the unprofessional coverage of Egyptian media over the current events in Tahrir. “Egypt is witnessing a difficult and hard period during the transfer to a democratic state,” they said in a statement. “After the whole world witnessed the great Egyptian January 25 Revolution, many challenges and obstacles prevented Egyptians from achieving their goals.” “There is an urgent demand for a firm application for legitimacy to urgently meet all the demands of the January 25 Revolution,” the official continued. “The situation got worse after the disgraceful and false coverage of national media over the Tahrir events, which is still fabricated and hiding the truth.” FM officials claimed all authorities must stop violence against protestors instantly and create an active dialogue to discuss the protestors' demands to stop violence.
