Egypt cannot "shuffle the deck" and "stand pat": U.S.
WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Egyptian government cannot simply "shuffle the deck and then stand pat," the State Department said on Saturday, pressing for political reform after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's decision to dismiss his Cabinet.
"The Egyptian government can't reshuffle the deck and then stand pat," department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in a message on Twitter.
"President Mubarak's words pledging reform must be followed by action," he added, echoing President Barack Obama's call for reforms by the long-time Egyptian president.
