  • we are committed to the democratic process and respect for the rule of law.  Since the current unrest in Egypt began, we have called on all parties to work together to address the legitimate grievances of the Egyptian people, in accordance with the democratic process, and without recourse to violence or the use of force.
  • ultimately the future of Egypt can only be determined by the Egyptian people.

  • move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process, and to avoid any arbitrary arrests of President Morsy and his supporters.
  • democratic political order with participation from all sides and all political parties —secular and religious, civilian and military.
  • No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people.
  • we will continue to work with the Egyptian people to ensure that Egypt’s transition to democracy succeeds.

  • Just last week, vigilante supporters of Morsi captured dozens of protesters, detaining and beating them before handing them over to police. According to human rights advocates, Morsi-backed groups have also been accused of using rape to intimidate female protesters who have gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square to protest a sharia-based constitution and Morsi's neutering of the nation's legal system.
  • The Morsi-led Muslim Brotherhood government has not proven to be a partner for democracy, as they had promised, given the recent attempted power grab,
  • The Obama administration wants to simply throw money at an Egyptian Government that the President cannot even clearly state is an ally of the United States.

    Even as analysts credited some of the ministers for their competence and for bringing badly needed expertise to Egypt's escalating economic crisis after a year of mismanagement, the composition of the cabinet exposed it to the same criticisms once heaped on Mr. Morsi: that he excluded his opponents from governing and, in the process, demolished any sense of political consensus. The government's legitimacy "is going to be very hard to measure," said Zaid al-Ali, a Cairo-based constitutional expert with the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance. "Under normal circumstances, the government would be accountable to the people, through elections and the media," he said. "Now there is no parliamentary institution. The only institution that can hold government accountable is the people, through demonstrations." "Legitimacy," he said, "is hanging by a thread."
