\"\"<\/a>Military Junta Brings Forward Constitutional Reform in Egypt<\/h1>\n

The Egyptian military government on Tuesday designated a former magistrate to chair a committee to reform the Constitution, and reiterated calls for halt to protests and strikes so that the country can return to everyday life.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces named retired judge Tareq Al-Bishry to chair the constitutional reform commission, an indispensable step for a democratic transition in the country, according to official sources.<\/p>\n

Al-Bishry confirmed the council chose him for that task.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian Constitution was suspended and Parliament was dissolved two days after President Hosni Mubarak resigned.<\/p>\n

The constitutional reforms is to be made within 10 days, and a referendum is to be held within two months, to then convene presidential and legislative elections three or four months after the referendum.<\/p>\n

The military junta is trying to placate the discontent that continues to prevail in Egypt, even though soldiers completely cleared out Tahrir Square of demonstrators in the last two days.<\/p>\n

The military leaders fired the Ministry of Interior public security director, Adly Fayed, and the head of security in Cairo, Ismail El-Shaer, for being responsible for the decision to open fire on anti-government protesters.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist!
