I've also directed the relevant departments and the agencies to review the implications under the U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt.

No transition to democracy comes without difficulty, but in the end it must stay true to the will of the people.

I now call on the Egyptian military to move quickly and responsibly to return full authority back to a democratically elected civilian government as soon as possible through an inclusive and transparent process.

The United States supports a set of core principles, including opposition to violence, protection of universal human rights, and reform that meets the legitimate aspirations of the people.

During this uncertain period, we expect the military to ensure that the rights of all Egyptian men and women are protected, including the right to peaceful assembly, due process, and free and fair trials in civilian courts.

I believe that the purpose of development should be to build capacity and to help other countries actually stand on their own feet.

One of the things, Mr. President, that I learned around the business roundtable is: if we are going to electrify Africa, we've got to do it with more speed.

We are here today to focus on one of the biggest hurdles to Africa's economic development: the fact that nearly 70 percent of Africans lack access to electricity.

All forms of violence are unacceptable.

This is a win-win.

The United States is committed to the democratic process in Egypt and does not support any single party or group.

I'm inspired.

Power Africa embraces this model.

Democracy is about more than elections; it is also about ensuring that the voices of all Egyptians are heard and represented by their government.

But development isn't just about big projects.

Only Egyptians can make the decisions that will determine their future.

Trade Africa will initially focus on the member states of the East African Community (EAC).

Wildlife trafficking reduces those benefits while generating billions of dollars in illicit revenues each year.
