Egypt's main opposition coalition on Sunday urged hundreds of thousands of protesters demanding the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi to stay on the streets until their goals are achieved, AFP reports.
In a statement entitled "Revolution Statement 1", they urged "all the revolutionary forces and all citizens to maintain their peaceful (rallies) in all the squares and streets and villages and hamlets of the country... until the last of this dictatorial regime falls."
Meanwhile, Egypt's presidency held a press conference on Sunday night at the presidential palace in Cairo, where spokesman Omar Amer stressed the presidency's respect for the demands of the street but also emphasized the need for dialogue.
"We respect the demands of the street and we acknowledge that the political scene in Egypt is continuously changing," said Amer, according to the website of the Al-Ahram newspaper. "But initiatives are being announced every hour and communication is ongoing."
"Groups who have demands must sit down to dialogue," said Amer, who reminded listeners of the presidency's repeated calls for dialogue that had been rejected by some factions of the opposition.
"We must stress that the issue of dialogue is not mere rhetoric as some claim it to be," Amr said, according to Al-Ahram. "The president has continuously said that he wanted everyone to listen to his initiative with the aim of holding serious national dialogue."
Amer further stressed that the presidency would continue to protect peaceful protests to ensure the right of expression. He also praised the "patriotic role played by Egypt's security forces" in protecting Sunday's mass rallies.
He added that Morsi knows he has made mistakes and is working to fix them.

Mad Mo made mistakes too.
The Middle East is a mess and Obama had a big hand in it.
H1 worked her special smartest woman magic too.
H! worked her special smartest woman magic too.
Send Bammy back to Egypt to fix it again.
Sounds like hope and change is breaking out all over the place!
I’m worried the world has no idea how to finish this madness.
Morsi wanted to be king...looks as though he’ll be hanged.
The Middle East is a mess and Obama had a big hand in it.
Obama is the man with a plan..how’s that Arab Spring working out for you, Hussein?
These upsets are all unfolding according to plan, it certainly seems. Obama is just the puppet, installed to create chaos in the Middle East and at home. Stable regimes have had the carpet pulled from under them. Mubarek was a force for stability in the regime, a big one. Obama and Hillary set upon demonizing him and overthrowing him. Who benefited? Obama’s handlers benefitted, the Muslim Brotherhood benefitted, Iran benefitted.
Thanks Eleutheria5.
