Khalifa Comments on Egypt Unrest

TYLER — Tyler resident and community leader Anwar Khalifa is offering remarks on current unrest in Egypt. In a statement submitted to KTBB, Khalifa says, “I was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and still have relatives in Alexandria, Cairo and other cities in Egypt. I have been asked to represent those of Egyptian Origin. We pray that all violence stops. We condemn all violence against any and all religions. We also condemn police violent actions against peaceful protest. President Mubarak has been a long time friend of the USA. He has apparently not kept faith with our values in empowering the general public to choose leadership in a democratic/republican form, and has not looked after the welfare of the economy of his country.”
