Cameron Urges Egypt Army to Co-Opt Opposition, End Emergency

U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron urged Egypt’s military rulers to bring opposition leaders into the government and end a state of emergency to demonstrate their desire to move toward democracy after the ousting of President Hosni Mubarak.

“We want them to complete this transition,” Cameron told reporters in Cairo after talks with the military and opposition figures. “It’s quite right, as a friend of Egypt, to ask lots of questions about how, when and where. That’s what I did. If Egypt can make this transition, it will have a huge positive and useful impact elsewhere.”
