US calls for engagement after Egyptian constitution vote
The United States called Tuesday for Egyptians to engage across
political lines after the country's new constitution was approved
in a two-round referendum, Trend news agency reported referring to
dpa agency.
State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell pointed to concerns
among some Egyptians about the constitution and called on President
Mohammed Morsi to work to bridge divisions. Washington would remain
committed to helping Egypt with its democratic transitions, he
said.
"We have called for genuine consultation and compromise across
Egypt's political divides. We hope those Egyptians disappointed by
the result will seek more and deeper engagement," he said.
"We look to those who welcome the result to engage in good faith.
And we hope all sides will re-commit themselves to condemn and
prevent violence."
