Das es Salaam: U.S. President Barack Obama called embattled Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi to convey concerns about mass protests against Mursi’s regime and urged him to respond to issues raised by the demonstrators, the White House said on Tuesday.
The U.S. president “told President Mursi that the United States is committed to the democratic process in Egypt and does not support any single party or group,” the White House said.
“President Obama encouraged President Mursi to take steps to show that he is responsive to their concerns, and underscored that the current crisis can only be resolved through a political process,” it said in a statement.
