Egyptian presidential candidates Abdallah al-Ashaal demanded Egyptian citizens to participate in the demonstrations calling Egypt's ruling military council to transfer power over to an elected civil authority, scheduled for Friday October 7. The demonstration entitled ‘Thank you, now return back to your barracks,' aiming to pave the way to achieve the objectives of the Egyptian January 25 Revolution including achievement security, social justice and freedom. Al-Ashaal blamed Egypt's governmental authority about the Israeli attacks against Egyptian soldiers on the Egyptian-Israeli borders, explaining such a weak reaction prompted Egyptian youth to storm the Israeli embassy in Cairo. He also criticized punishing those youth who stormed the embassy, although the government honored Ahmed al-Shahat, the man who removed the Israeli flag from the building of the Israeli embassy. Al-Ashaal believes the governmental honoring al-Shahat allowed the youth to do the same. He criticized the assaults of the military police against Egyptian citizens, adding such actions are too similar to action the former regime of the former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The former diplomat demanded Egypt's ruling military council to pay attention to the calls recently raised for demonstrations, especially since Egyptians insist on completing their revolution. He appealed to the military council to release the youth arrested in the incident of the storming of the Israeli embassy. He refused the U.S. pressure on the Egyptian government during the investigations conducted with the Israeli spy. He demanded the government not to respond to foreign pressures and avoid administrative corruption in Egypt as it did during the former regime.
