The downfall of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and uprisings across the region have prompted Western governments to rethink their policies of supporting autocrats, but have also raised concerns about the rise of Islamist groups in their place. The prime minister told reporters before his arrival in Cairo that he wanted to expand security relations with the new Egypt "in combating extremist terror." He also said: "We have got very important trading relationships we want to expand. Cameron is at the spearhead of a diplomatic initiative to understand the new political landscape after the uprising in this key U.S. ally which has a peace treaty with Israel. During the visit, Cameron met Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who now heads the military council that governs the Arab world's most populous nation. The council has promised to deliver free elections and civilian rule. "The most important thing for us is to hear how we can help this transition be successful," Cameron said to Tantawi. British officials said, however, that Cameron will not speak with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is regarded with suspicion in Washington, is Egypt's biggest and best organised political grouping and which wants a democracy with Islamic principles. It would be a positive sign to meet other, less organised opposition groups than the Brotherhood, to highlight the fact that Islamists are not the only alternative to Mubarak, the British officials said. Cameron will specifically appeal to the military to lift emergency law, the cornerstone of Mubarak's iron rule and implemented after the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 by Islamist officers from his army. The complete disbandment of the current cabinet, mostly appointed by Mubarak, the lifting of emergency law and the freeing of political prisoners are key demands from reformists and activists who toppled Mubarak. Cameron's arrival came hot on the heels of a visit by William J. Burns, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, who landed earlier on Monday. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton is due to arrive in Egypt on Tuesday. CIVILIAN RULE "I think this is a great opportunity to talk to those currently running Egypt to make sure this really is a genuine transition from military rule to civilian rule," the British prime minister said, before arriving in Cairo. Uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia have sent shockwaves through the Middle East, threatening entrenched dynasties from Libya to Bahrain. The West has watched with alarm as long-time allies and foes came under threat, urging reform and restraint. The Muslim Brotherhood, once banned and playing a growing role in the new Egypt, rejected a government reshuffle on Monday, calling for a purge of the old guard cabinet. 1 2 Next World Egypt Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
