Cairo: Egypt’s Army vowed to oversee a ‘peaceful transition’ to democracy and pledged its commitment to all international treaties, news agencies reported on Sunday.
The Supreme Command Council of the Armed Forces, which is now incharge of the administration in the post-Mubarak Egypt, gave no timeline for the changeover.
The military also banned top officials from travelling outside the country to ensure that former presidential loyalists do not flee.
The Council said the present government would remain in place until a transition to an elected government is achieved.
In a televised statement entitled “Communique Number 4,” it said it would “pave the way for an elected civil authority to build a free democratic state”.
