A draft resolution within 3 weeks to support Egyptian government: Congressman
American Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican and member of
the Foreign Relations Committee, and the head of the Congress delegation
currently visiting Egypt, announced that he intends to submit a draft
resolution to the Congress, upon his return, aiming to support the
Egyptian interim government and its roadmap for the future.
Rohrabacher said during a meeting of the congressional delegation
accompanying him on Sunday evening, with a limited number of
journalists, that it may take about three weeks.
The Congress delegation also includes Loretta Sanchez, a member of
the Armed Services Committee, and Paul Cook and Steve Stockman, members
of the Foreign Relations Committee.
Rohrabacher said that the delegation is content with the progress
it has witnessed, in addition to advances made towards democracy and
stability.
He noted that there is no need for a new revolution as long as
there are free, fair polls and a freely elected government, while
Egyptian officials stressed their commitment to achieve this while
sticking to the political roadmap.
Though political views vary widely among elected representatives in
the US Congress, those hailing from the more conservative Republican
party tend to support the new Egyptian government as a means of
countering the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, the more liberal Democrats
have voiced much more critique of the new Egyptian government in terms
of its human rights abuses.
