EGYPTIANS SHOULD CONSIDER NEW APPROACHES TO ENSURE INCLUSIVE POLITICAL
PROCESS -- BAN
New York, Aug 10 2013 10:00AM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has voiced deep concern at the
continuing political stalemate in Egypt, and called on all sides to
avoid provocations and to consider new approaches to ensure an
inclusive political process rooted in reconciliation.

"The Secretary-General repeats his commitment to support non-violent,
Egyptian-led approaches to meeting the aspirations of the Egyptian
people," said a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7009">statement issued
last night by his spokesperson.

Egypt has been undergoing a democratic transition following the
toppling of President Hosni Mubarak two years ago in the wake of mass
protests. Last month, renewed protests -- in which dozens of people
were killed and wounded -- led to the Egyptian military deposing
President Mohamed Morsy. The Constitution was then suspended and an
interim government set up.

Mr. Ban applauded the "deep courage and commitment" of the Egyptian
people over the past two years in exercising their rights to peaceful
assembly and freedom of expression in support of their respective
visions for moving Egypt forward, said the statement.

"Yet in light of current tensions and given the risk of potential
violence, the Secretary-General also believes it is of critical
importance that all sides in Egypt -- those in positions of authority
as well as those protesting in the street -- should urgently
reconsider their current actions and language.

"For this reason, the Secretary-General urges Egyptians to set aside
or avoid actions and words likely to be perceived by others as
provocative," the statement continued. "Instead they should try to
look creatively at new approaches toward a genuinely inclusive
political process that would be rooted in reconciliation. In the
Secretary-General's view, political strategies need to adjust to
evolving circumstances and realities if they are to serve their
country."

Mr. Ban called on those in authority, on all sides, to exercise their
leadership and their responsibility to do whatever can be done to
prevent further loss of life among the Egyptian people.

"As long as they avoid the path of violence, the Secretary-General is
confident that the Egyptian people, representing one of the world's
great and historic civilizations, will successfully find a way
forward. The United Nations remains fully engaged in supporting
Egypt."
