The brave people in Egypt
Egypt needs to build a peaceful transition to democracy, there needs to be a proper, orderly transition to a more democratic situation, where there are greater rights, greater freedoms, better rule of law,This repression — if you opt for that, that will end badly for Egypt, badly for the world. It is the wrong choice.
International Mideast envoy Tony Blair, speaking during a visit in Israel, said he was concerned that unrest in Egypt could disrupt the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
Many EU diplomats piled the pressure on Mubarak.
"We're talking here about a rightful concern — particularly of the middle class, namely the opportunity to advance, democratic rights, civil rights," said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton urged the government in Cairo to listen and respond to the "legitimate grievances" of Egyptians.
"Their aspirations for a just, for a better future should be met with urgent, concrete and decisive answers and with real steps," she told reporters.
Some European foreign ministers warned Egyptians to be on guard against a possible takeover by religious militants.
"I am sure Egyptians will be in a position to choose democracy and civil rights, not extremism, not radicalism," Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said.
The ministers had to paper over differences on how to treat Mubarak's government, according to a diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with standing rules. Some nations wanted the bloc to urge the strongman to step down, while others wanted to give him more time to form a transitional government.
Ministers also discussed the possible evacuation of more than 50,000 EU citizens currently in Egypt, most of them tourists, but refrained from urging Europeans to leave the country. In contrast, the U.S. has urged its citizens to leave Egypt.
Mubrak is trying to bring focus on the another problem , but the problem is Mubarak and dictatorship.
I hope that all countries , like Iran, get this lesson from Tunisia and Egypt .
