8 Aug 2013 5:24 AM IST
The spokesman for Egypt's interim president is decrying ‘foreign pressure’ in a strongly worded message that appears to indicate Cairo's uneasiness toward a flurry of visits by American, European and Gulf envoys aimed at mediating a standoff with supporters of the ousted president.
Ahmed el-Musalamani, a spokesman for interim president Adly Mansour, told reporters today that ‘foreign pressure has exceeded international standards.’ He didn't elaborate. His comments came a day after US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns met with Khairat el-Shater, a top leader in Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group. His visits are seen of ways to mediate a standoff between Morsi's supporters and the government.
