.- The United States special envoy to Egypt Frank Wisner, said today that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak could remain in government to lead the transition to democracy. Wisner statements take place this Saturday, when a relative calm returned to Egypt after 11 days of protests demanding the resignation of Mubarak and shortly after he resigned the leadership of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP).
The U.S. diplomat welcomed the departure of Mubarak's ruling party leadership, as well as his son Gamal, who was seen as a possible successor, according to reports from The Egyptian Gazette. Wisner, former U.S. ambassador in Cairo, said that''it takes a national consensus on the preconditions for the next step.
The president could remain in office to lead the democratic changes that the opposition is demanding.'' He added that Mubarak's continued leadership is critical, 'is your opportunity to write his own legacy. Has 60 years of his life serving his country, this is an ideal time for him to show the way forward.
" The comments by former ambassador seems to contradict previous calls from Washington for an immediate transition in Egypt, it also endorsed Mubarak's refusal to step down amid a chaos, he warned "could have dangerous consequences." Just yesterday, Barack Obama U.S. President Mubarak urged to 'make the right decision', but not explicitly ask for his ouster.
