The Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has announced a referendum on a new draft constitution on December 15. A recent decree given Mr Morsi extensive new powers has prompted widespread protests by his opponents, who have accused him of being a dictator in the making. From here is Bethany Bell.
埃及总统穆罕默德·穆尔西宣布12月15日就新宪法草案举行公投。穆尔西最近颁布法令授予自己无上权力,这使他遭到反对派的普遍反对,他们谴责他要做独裁者。贝瑟尼·贝尔报道。
President Morsi called on all Egyptians to participate in the referendum on the constitution whether they agreed with it or not. He said Egypt had to overcome this faith of tension, and he appealed for a comprehensive national dialogue over the concerns of the nation. The entire world is watching our experiment, he said. Meanwhile huge crowds of the president's supporters have rallied in Cairo and other towns across Egypt. And in Tahrir Square, the opposition demonstration continues.
