Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL), a member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, today issued the following statement responding to the resignation of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak:
“Our thoughts today are with the people of Egypt as they celebrate this historic non-violent transition of power in their nation with hopes for a more free and prosperous future. The resignation of President Mubarak paves the way for new leaders to emerge through democratic elections guided by the principles of freedom to lead the people of Egypt forward. We urge a prompt and orderly transition but caution the people of Egypt to avoid the advances of extremist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood who would rule through fear and draw a wedge among Egypt, the United States, Israel and other nations."
