五角大楼呼吁埃及“透明”的宪法公投
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Defense1 Secretary Chuck Hagel on Sunday called for a "transparent2" constitutional referendum in Egypt to ensure all voters cast their vote "freely" on Tuesday and Wednesday.
In his talks over the phone with his Egyptian counterpart General Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the Pentagon chief discussed "the importance of the constitutional referendum for Egypt's overall political transition," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said in a readout of the conversation.
Hagel "stressed the importance of a transparent referendum in which all Egyptians have the opportunity to cast their vote freely, " and urged al-Sisi to ensure the international and domestic observers have "full access," Kirby said.
Egypt has been hit with waves after waves of protests and a deteriorating3 security situation since Mohamed Morsi, the country' s first elected president, was ousted4 by the military in early July, 2013.
Last month, the interim5 government declared the Muslim Brotherhood6, to which Morsi belongs, a "terrorist group".
