“This is not the end of Egypt’s transition, it is the beginning,” President Obama praised the people of Egypt in their victory today. He admired their commitment to nonviolence. He particularly mentioned his admiration of Muslims and Christians demonstrating side-by-side their common goal of democracy.
Obama also praised the military, saying that they “served patriotically and responsibly.” He called on the Egyptian military continue to serve the people by aiding the transition to democracy and laying down a clear path to elections in September.
Once again, President Obama reiterated that the U.S. will continue to be a friend and partner to Egypt and would be ready to offer any assistance to aid their flowering democracy if called upon.
