FYI:
The United States has praised the ruling military council in Egypt, amid millions-strong rallies by Egyptians demanding the formation of a civilian government in the North African country.
US State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner said on Friday that the Egyptian military has exercised self-restraint and professionalism in dealing with demonstrations and protesters, Egyptian daily newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm reported.
Toner went on to say that the military council should continue to preserve order and allow the process of democratization to proceed.
He made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of a meeting between Egyptian Intelligence Chief Mourad Mowafy and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington.
The US State Department spokesperson also pointed out that the United States will continue to provide economic assistance to Egypt and push for a democratic transition.
Meanwhile, millions of Egyptians once again took to the landmark Liberation Square in the capital Cairo on Friday to demand the formation of a civilian government.
Over a dozen opposition groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood, attended the Friday rally which was dubbed “Friday of Unity and Popular Demand.”
The demonstrators called for the ouster of military rulers who have replaced ousted President Hosni Mubarak. Many of the protesters say they want an Islamic state to replace the military-led transitional government.
Egypt's military council took over in the African country after the downfall of Mubarak in February. Many Egyptians now believe the military council is trying to derail the revolution.
