Egypt's military to decide VP Suleiman's role - Reuters

4:30pm: Our correspondent James Bays says the Egyptian military has dissolved the parliament and announced that elections will take place in September.

Egyptian TV read out the communicate, saying that elections will take place in September, and the military will only run the country until September.

This is a very important news, the protesters have been asking for a specific timeline, they wanted to know when this transition was going to take place, and when there was going to be an elected civilian government, and now the military supreme command have answered that.

It is interesting that This military communicate came out shortly after the prime minister spoke to the nation, I think that they are showing where the power is, making it clear that for now the military high command replaces the president in the structure, and the prime minister does what he is told."


2:50pm: Ahmed Shafiq, Egypt's prime minister, holds his first news conference since Hosni Mubarak stepped down on Friday. He says:

"Our main concern is security, how to restore security to the Egyptian citizens."

------

May be worth while to start a new thread... "Transition in Egypt"?

http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/excl...hud-barak-egypts-revolution/story?id=12905130

In a worldwide exclusive interview with "This Week" anchor Christiane Amanpour -- filmed before Mubarak stepped down -- [Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak] was asked if Egypt was headed towards an Iranian-style revolution.

"I don't believe that something similar to the Iranian events 30 years ago is happening now. I think that the Egyptians, they have their own way," he said.

"The real winners of any short-term election, let's say within 90 days, will be the Muslim Brotherhood, because they are already ready to jump and the -- usually in revolutions, if they are violent, there is an eruption of idealist sentiment at the first moment and later on, sooner than later, the only group which is coherent, focused, ready to kill and be killed if necessary, takes power," he said. "That should be avoided in Egypt because that could be a catastrophe for the whole region."

Amanpour asked Barak whether he believed the Brotherhood when they said they don't want to run for the Presidency of Egypt.

"I tend not to believe a radical Muslim movement," he said. But he explained all Islamist groups were not the same. "I think that we should not very easily compare them to, I know, to the most extremist groups of terror and so on. It's an Egyptian version. Many of them are less extremist," he said.

Uh... Imagine that.

With all due thanks and respect for the posters here, is this thread ever going to end?
I am thinking a new thread should be started for post-revolution Egypt. The original title doesn't really seem to apply anymore.
