Search web search Home Singapore Asia Pacific World Business Entertainment Sports Technology Weekend Edition Africa Europe Latin America Middle East North America US pushing for Mubarak to go now: report AFP - Friday, February 4 Send IM Story Print US pushing for Mubarak to go now: report WASHINGTON (AFP) - – The United States has urged the Egyptian government to begin transition talks "immediately" and was reportedly pushing for President Hosni Mubarak to quit right away. The New York Times reported that President Barack Obama's administration was discussing with Egyptian officials a plan for Mubarak to turn power over now to a transitional government headed by Vice President Omar Suleiman. The report, which cited officials in Obama's administration and Arab diplomats, said the United States was seeking backing from the Egyptian military even though Mubarak himself was balking at the idea. Officials from both governments are holding talks about the plan in which Suleiman, backed by Egyptian armed forces, would immediately begin a process of constitutional reform, it said. The Times said the proposal calls for the transitional government to invite members from a broad range of opposition groups, including the banned Muslim Brotherhood, to start a process to hold free and fair elections in September. Muslim Brotherhood: Egypt's unbowed opposition The White House sought to play down the notion there was one unique plan under consideration but did not issue an out-and-out denial of the Times report. "It's simply wrong to report that there's a single US plan that's being negotiated with the Egyptians," a senior Obama administration official told AFP. The United States also strongly denounced Egypt's assault on the m edia, calling it an "orchestrated" effort to snuff out coverage of the anti-government unrest sweeping Egypt for the 10th day. Scene: In Cairo square, blood, rocks and the crack of gunfire Both Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden also stepped up the pressure on Suleiman, named Mubarak's first-ever vice president last week, to follow through on promises of change. Biden called Suleiman on Thursday, urging that "credible, inclusive negotiations begin immediately in order for Egypt to transition to a democratic government that addresses the aspirations of the Egyptian people." He contacted Suleiman on a day in which he told protestors opposed to Mubarak to go home, describing their calls for his boss's ouster as a recipe for chaos. The White House said in a statement that Biden reiterated Obama's recent criticism of violence in Egypt, which has seen pro-Mubarak gangs target protestors, and issued a new call for restraint. "He stressed that the Egyptian government is responsible for ensuring that peaceful demonstrations dont lead to violence and intimidation and for allowing journalists and human rights advocates to conduct their important work, including immediately releasing those who have been detained," a White House statement said. The Egyptian leader, who conceded Tuesday that he would not run for re-election in September, said in an interview on Thursday that he would like to step aside, but he feared the country would be engulfed in chaos. Timeline: Unrest in Egypt Pitched battles on Wednesday between Mubarak supporters and regime opponents left at least five people dead and 836 injured. Echoing a wave of international concern over the worsening violence, Clinton "condemned in the strongest terms" attacks on reporters covering the unrest, peaceful protesters, human rights activists, and foreigners. Experts fret for Egypt's treasures, ancient sites "There is a clear responsibility by the Egyptian government, including the army, to protect those threatened and hold accountable those responsible for these attacks," she said. Margaret Scobey, the US ambassador in Cairo, registered "grave concern" earlier with Egyptian Foreign Minster Ahmed Abul Gheit about attacks on journalists, bloggers, activists and others, Clinton spokesman Philip Crowley said. Crowley said there appears to be an "orchestrated" effort to prevent journalists covering the protests, something he said may be a dress rehearsal for Friday, when a "significant increase" in protesters is expected. Crowley said Washington has traced the violence to "elements close to the government and the ruling party" even if it is not clear how far "up the chain" it goes. Gibbs said the "systematic targeting of journalists in Egypt... is completely and totally unacceptable. Any journalist that has been detained should be released immediately." The Washington Post said its Cairo bureau chief and a photographer had been detained on Thursday. Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya, ABC News, CNN, France 2, France 24, Radio-Canada, Le Soir have also all been targeted.
