Egypt’s former military chief, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, vowed on Thursday that the country would not go backwards but move forward after the initial results of the presidential election see him winning by a landslide.

“We know that some people fear a return to the past, but this will not happen, there is no going back and we will move forward,” Sisi said responding to a question about the fears of a return to the situation before the Jan. 25 revolution, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Aljarida.

Après avoir décidé de boycotter l'élection présidentielle prévue le 21 juin prochain en Mauritanie, la quinzaine de partis d'opposition composant le Forum national pour la Démocratie et l'Unité (FNDU), paraissent déterminés à "peser" sur ce scrutin majeur.

Depuis deux semaines, l'opposition multiplie les meetings, les rassemblements et les réunions politiques dans presque tous les quartiers de Nouakchott, de Nouadhibou (capitale économique) et de bien d'autres villes du pays pour dénoncer la tenue du scrutin présidentiel.

Former army chief Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, who won a landslide victory this week in the Egyptian presidential election, is likely to face severe threats from militant groups during his upcoming rule.

On Thursday, Egyptian jihadist group Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis issued a threat to Sisi, Al Arabiya News Channel’s Arabic website reported.

“Will Sisi last till he takes over power? And if he does, will he remain?” the group asked in a tweet following the announcement of the initial results of the presidential elections.

Afghan youth party, Etelaf-e-Meli Nahj Naween of Afghanistan, on Friday at an event in Kabul announced their endorsement of presidential candidate Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai for the June 14 runoff.

With only a couple weeks left before the historic vote that will determine President Hamid Karzai’s successor, candidates who lost in the first round, political figures, political parties and MPs have begun throwing their weight being Ashraf Ghani or his runoff rival, Abdullah Abdullah.

Election observers have suggested their will be a heightened chance of fraud during the presidential runoff now that the Independent Election Commission (IEC) has announced that it will add some 3,000 new voting sites and five percent more ballots per province for the second round in June.

Although officials maintain more available polling places on Election Day will necessarily mean more Afghans can participate, the head of Afghanistan Democracy Watch, Zekria Barekzai, said there would be no observers at many of the new sites planned by the IEC.

The UN Security Council expressed "disappointment and concern" Thursday that an election of a new Lebanese president has not occurred and demanded that polls be held without delay.

In a unanimous declaration, the Council's 15 member states urged the country's parliament "to uphold Lebanon's long standing democratic tradition and to work to ensure that presidential elections take place as soon as possible and without external interference."

While speaking to 300,000 supporters in Jaghori district of Ghazni province on Thursday, presidential candidate Dr. Abdullah Abdullah promised to turn Jaghori into its own province if elected in June.  
As the June 14 runoff vote approaches, Abdullah and his rival Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai have stepped-up their campaign activities, looking to grab any additional support they can before Afghans head to the polls. This year’s election will mark Afghanistan’s first democratic transition in modern history.
