PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SPEAKS:
http://whitehouse.gov
For Immediate Release February 01, 2011
Remarks by the President on the Situation in Egypt
Grand Foyer

6:44 P.M. EST

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening,
everybody. Over the past few days,
the American people have watched
the situation unfolding in Egypt.
We’ve seen enormous demonstrations
by the Egyptian people. We’ve
borne witness to the beginning
of a new chapter
in the history
of a great country,
and a long-time partner of the United States.

And my administration has been in
close contact with our Egyptian
counterparts and a broad range
of the Egyptian people, as well as
others across the region and
across the globe. And throughout
this period, we’ve stood for a
set of core principles.

First, we oppose violence.
And I want to commend the
Egyptian military for the professionalism
and patriotism that it has shown thus
far in allowing peaceful protests
while protecting the Egyptian people.
We’ve seen tanks covered with
banners, and soldiers and
protesters embracing in the streets.
And going forward, I urge the
military to continue its efforts to
help ensure that this time of
change is peaceful.

Second, we stand for universal values,
including the rights of the Egyptian people to
freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, and
the freedom to access information. Once more,
we’ve seen the incredible potential for technology
to empower citizens and the dignity of those
who stand up for a better future. And going
forward, the United States will continue to
stand up for democracy and the universal
rights that all human beings deserve, in
Egypt and around the world.

Third, we have spoken out on behalf of the
need for change. After his speech tonight,
I spoke directly to President Mubarak. He
recognizes that the status quo is not sustainable
and that a change must take place. Indeed, al
l of us who are privileged to serve in positions of
political power do so at the will of our people.
Through thousands of years, Egypt has known
many moments of transformation. The voices
of the Egyptian people tell us that this is one
of those moments; this is one of those times.

Now, it is not the role of any other country to
determine Egypt’s leaders. Only the Egyptian
people can do that. What is clear -- and what
I indicated tonight to President Mubarak -- is my
belief that an orderly transition must be meaningful,
it must be peaceful, and it must begin now.

Furthermore, the process must include a broad
spectrum of Egyptian voices and opposition parties.
It should lead to elections that are free and fair.
And it should result in a government that’s not only
grounded in democratic principles, but is also
responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people.

Throughout this process, the United States
will continue to extend the hand of partnership
and friendship to Egypt. And we stand ready
to provide any assistance that is necessary to
help the Egyptian people as they manage the
aftermath of these protests.

Over the last few days, the passion and the
dignity that has been demonstrated by the
people of Egypt has been an inspiration to
people around the world, including
here in the
United States,
and to all those who believe
in the inevitability
of human freedom.

To the people of Egypt, particularly the
young people of Egypt, I want to be clear:
We hear your voices. I have an unyielding
belief that you will determine your own destiny
and seize the promise of a better future for your
children and your grandchildren. And I say that
as someone who is committed to a partnership
between the United States and Egypt.

There will be difficult days ahead.
Many questions about Egypt’s future
remain unanswered. But I am confident
that the people of Egypt will find those answers.
That truth can be seen in the sense of
community in the streets. It can be seen
in the mothers and fathers embracing soldiers.
And it can be seen in the Egyptians who
linked arms to protect the national museum --
a new generation protecting the treasures
of antiquity; a human chain connecting a
great and ancient civilization to the promise
of a new day.

Thank you very much.

END
