UN SECRETARY-GENERAL STRONGLY CONDEMNS USE OF FORCE AGAINST PROTESTERS
IN CAIRONew York, Aug 14 2013 10:00AMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon
condemned in the strongest terms the violence that occurred today in
Cairo when Egyptian security services used force to clear sit-ins and
demonstrations, and urged all Egyptians to focus on promoting
inclusive reconciliation.

The crackdown comes just days after Mr. Ban renewed his call for all
sides in Egypt to reconsider their actions in light of new political
realities and the imperative to prevent further loss of life.

"The Secretary-General regrets that Egyptian authorities chose instead
to use force to respond to the ongoing demonstrations," his
spokesperson said in a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7015">statement.

While the UN is still gathering precise information about today's
events, the statement said it appears that hundreds of people were
killed or wounded in clashes between security forces and demonstrators
demanding the reinstatement of deposed President Mohamed Morsy.

Mr. Ban extended his condolences to the families of those killed and
his wishes for a full and speedy recovery to those injured.

"In the aftermath of today's violence, the Secretary-General urges all
Egyptians to concentrate their efforts on promoting genuinely
inclusive reconciliation," his spokesperson said.

"While recognizing that political clocks do not run backwards, the
Secretary-General also believes firmly that violence and incitement
from any side are not the answers to the challenges Egypt faces," he
continued.

Mr. Ban knows that the vast majority of the Egyptian people are weary
of disruptions to normal life caused by demonstrations and
counter-demonstrations, and want their country to go forward
peacefully in an Egyptian-led process towards prosperity and
democracy, the statement added.

Given the country's rich history and diversity of views and
experiences, it is not unusual for Egyptians to disagree on the best
approach forward, it further noted.

"What is important, in the Secretary-General's view, is that differing
views be expressed respectfully and peacefully," the spokesperson
said, adding that to Mr. Ban's regret, "that is not what happened
today."

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 Mr.
Morsy. The Constitution was then suspended and an interim government
set up.Aug 14 2013 10:00AM
