Obama Tells Egypt to undertake reforms
Barack Obama, Hosni Mubarak

There have been reports that the US president has strongly told the Egyptian President on Friday to undertake sweeping reforms. The U.S officials claimed that $1.5 billion aid would not be provided if the government does not start the process quickly.

Obama is reported to press the Egyptian president to be good on his pledges of greater democracy and economic freedom.

"I just spoke to him after his speech and I told him he has a responsibility to give meaning to those words, to take concrete steps and actions that deliver on that promise," Obama told reporters following a 30-minute telephone conversation with the Egyptian leader.

Earlier the Egypt president has urged the public to avoid chaos while sending tanks and troops for restoring the control.

Obama said that he has told the Egyptian authorities to withhold any sort of violent action towards the peaceful protesters. He also stated that the protesters of Egypt have the responsibility to remain peaceful and quite. Destruction and violence will not win anything.

The US president has called the Egypt government to reverse its action towards the public and allow them to access their fundamental rights. With the consideration to the high amount of aid, the US pressure has risen to a new level.

The US government has given $1.3 billion in military aid and another $250 million in economic aid in the year 2010. This was one of the highest aids given by the US government last year.
