Egyptian President addresses the nation on January 25

President Morsi vows to ‘achieve justice’ on January 25 Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi has said the country’s January 25 revolution ended tyranny and corruption, opening up a new age “where injustice and hegemony will have no place in Egypt.”
"The revolution was a turning point in Egypt's history,” Morsi said. “Egyptians have achieved unlimited freedoms and a constitution that has reduced the President’s powers.”
Speaking at the Azhar Conference Hall in Cairo to mark the birth of the Prophet Mohammed [Mulid al-Nabi], the Egyptian President took time to praise the national army’s conduct since the first outbreak of revolution on January 25 2011.
Morsi also warned the Egyptian people to “remain peaceful during [the anniversary’s] celebrations,” as thousands of the President’s opponents are expected to rally in Tahrir Square on Friday to demonstrate against what they perceive as the President’s inability to fulfil the original goals of the revolution.
"A structural reform is taking place in Egypt’s institutions to fulfil the revolution’s demands,” he claimed. “I'm working with the government to solve the problems of the country’s slums.”
"No one will be harmed for their views and opinions," he added, in response to accusations that he is trying to stifle opposition.
Morsi has also came under fire for failing to fulfil his pledge of punishing those responsible for the deaths of more than 800 protestors during the 2011 revolution, particularly in the wake of former leader Hosni Mubarak’s successful appeal against a life sentence on related charges.
"Fair retribution will take place,” Morsi declared. “The Prosecutor General should take the appropriate action to achieve justice.”
Referring to the country’s worsening economic situation, Morsi called on the Egyptian people to direct their efforts towards creating a “suitable environment for investment,” through work and productivity.
"We will remove all the obstacles in the way of Egyptian, Arab and foreign investors to encourage them to work in Egypt," he said.
Egypt is struggling to overcome an economic crisis that has seen the Egyptian pound hit record lows against the US dollar, worsened by a period of political turbulence that shows no signs of easing.
