The generals who have been leading Egypt since Mubarak’s overthrow released a statement late February 10 warning that the armed forces will not “bow to threats, nor succumb to pressures, nor accept ultimatums.”
The statement comes as Egypt prepares for a general strike aimed at pressuring the military to relinquish power.
The military’s statement said, without referring to any particular group, “We face conspiracies hatched against the homeland, whose goal is to undermine the institutions of the Egyptian state and whose aim is to topple the state itself so that chaos reigns and destruction spreads.”
