Hossam Bahgat, director of the non-governmental Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said the military's buy world of warcraft cataclysm cd key steps were positive but warned that Egypt was on uncharted legal ground.
"In the absence of a constitution, we have entered a sort buy world of warcraft cataclysm of 'twilight zone' in terms of rules, so we are concerned," he said. "We are clearly monitoring the situation and wow cataclysm key will attempt to influence the transitional phase so as to respect human rights."
The ruling council said it will run the country for buy wow cataclysm six months, or until presidential and parliament elections can be held. It said it was forming a committee to amend the constitution and set the buy cataclysm key rules for a popular referendum to endorse the amendments.
Both the lower and upper houses of parliament are being wow cd key dissolved. The last parliamentary elections in November and December were heavily rigged by the ruling party, virtually cataclysm cd key shutting out opposition representation.
The caretaker Cabinet, which was appointed by Mubarak shortly wow cataclysm cd key after the pro-democracy protests began on Jan. 25, will remain in place until a new Cabinet is formed - a step that is buy cataclysm cd key not expected to happen until after elections. The ruling council reiterated that it would abide by all of Egypt's wow cataclysm key international treaties agreed in the Mubarak era, most importantly the 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
"Our concern now in the Cabinet is buy wow cataclysm security, to bring security back to the Egyptian citizen," Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq told a news conference world of warcraft cataclysm cd key after the Cabinet meeting.
Shafiq said the military would decide whether buy wow gold Omar Suleiman, who was appointed vice president by Mubarak in a failed attempt to appease protesters, cheap wow gold would play some role in Egypt's transition.
"He might fill an important tera gold position in the coming era," the prime minister said.
He also denied rumors that Mubarak cheapest wow gold had fled to the United Arab Emirates, saying the former president remained in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He went there just hours after stepping down.
"In a country like Egypt, with a pharaonic legacy, having no wow power leveling president and no head of state is not easy," said Amr el-Shobaky, a member of the Committee of Wise Men - a self-appointed group of prominentwow leveling figures who are allied with the protesters.
The police, hated for their brutality and corruption under wow powerleveling decades-old emergency laws, marched Sunday through Tahrir Square to the Interior Ministry, which oversees them. wow power level They demanded better pay and conditions, but also sought to absolve themselves of responsibility for the police's attempted crackdown at the start of the protests that killed many demonstrators.
"You have done this inhuman act," one of the Tahrir protesters buy wow power leveling said to the police. "We no longer trust you."
Hearing the accusations, cheap wow power leveling Said Abdul-Rahim, a low-ranking officer, broke down in tears.
"I didn't do it. I didn't do it," he implored. "All these orders world of warcraft power leveling were coming from senior leaders. This is not our fault. "
About 2,000 police demonstrated, tera cd key at times scuffling with soldiers who tried to disperse them. Some troops fired gunshots in the air, but later withdrew to avoid antagonizing the protesters. A few tanks remained tera gold outside the ministry.
"This is our ministry," the police shouted. "The people and the tera gold police are one hand," they chanted, borrowing an expression for unity.
