Generals in Egypt Deny Role in Clashes

Recently, there have been clashes and some fighting in Europe over the upcoming presidential elections from each side, and 11 people were left dead from the violence. The military rulers deny they had any part in the clashes, and didn't send forces to stop the fighting until 12 hours after it began. They justify not sending forces because they say they didn't want to escalate the violence. Some of the Egyptian presidential candidates have suspended their campaigns because they are worried that the military leaders will try to postpone the elections and keep power. The military leaders say they are still committed to handing over power to the people before June 30, when elections take place.

I think whatever is going to happen in Egypt will just have to be a "wait-and-see" type of thing. There are still a lot of questions floating around as to who will become president, will the elections be postponed, or will the temporary leaders try to stay in power? From what the military is saying, they seem to be sincere in their commitment to have the elections, but that could all be an act while they try to gain more power and support. I just hope all of the violence and progress in Egypt wasn't for nothing, and that they can have some type of democratic government in the near future.
