The new interim leader of Egypt, Adly Mansour, has outlined plans for polls, as clashes continued in the country.
Mansour, who was appointed by the army after last week’s coup against Mohammed Morsi, said a panel to amend the most recent constitution would be formed within 15 days, and those changes would be put to a referendum, leading to elections by 2014.
51 people died in clashes between Morsi’s supporters and the army in Cairo.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
