Obama: "It 's time for change" in Cairo still principals in the square

CAIRO - Egyptian The square is not empty, the protests continued and a looming confrontation between government and opposition over political concessions necessary to stop the demonstrations. A delicate phase, in which the U.S. decided to give a precise indication, the transition must be rapid and the Muslim Brotherhood are not the only alternative to force in the country.

Barack Obama said in an interview tonight on Fox, which the U.S. president has suggested the need for change without any pressure on Mubarak. Opposition to the streets again. Opponents of the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, have rejected as insufficient the concessions made in talks with Vice-President Omar Suleiman and continue to request that the Rais to take a step back.

Many protesters have spent, once again, the night in Tahrir Square, and while the uprising enters 14th day, the central square of Cairo is still full of protesters, convinced that the initiation of dialogue will not stop their campaign to overthrow Mubarak . Return to normal. Meanwhile in Cairo, the life slowly resumed its course, and many commercial banks have reopened their doors today, the traffic on roads and bridges has been restored.

Obama: "Ready for a new partnership with the government." Sunday night Barack Obama is back to reaffirm that Egypt will not come back: in an interview with the conservative Fox News, the U.S. president claimed that the U.S. is not seeking to dictate to the Egyptian president what to do, but clearly suggest that it is now time to change.

The case Wisner. It breaks the case while the White House envoy to Egypt, where there alllunga the shadow of conflict of interest. This raises the Independent British investigative journalist Robert Fisk, who has discovered that Frank Wisner worked for a law firm based in New York and Washington and lend his expertise to the Egyptian government of Hosni Mubarak.

A private interest that sheds new light on the American envoy explosive statements, which the State Department has had to distance, that Mubarak would remain in place to manage a peaceful ransizione to democracy. Fisk is surprised that no one has raised doubts about the links of Wisner with the law firm Patton Boggs, who makes no secret of providing its advice to the 'Egyptian army, the Egyptian agency for economic development "and have" managed arbitration and litigation in Europe and the United States on behalf of the government of Mubarak.

" The study also reveals to "represent some of the major Egyptian entrepreneurs and their companies" and "being involved in projects on their behalf in the oil, gas and infrastructure." Wisner was U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Zambia, Philippines and India, before retiring and starting work in March 2009, for the law firm.
