埃及總統候選人舉行首次辯論

Two leading candidates in this month's presidential election in Egypt have taken part in the country's first presidential debate.

These two candidates are Former foreign minister Amr Moussa and Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, a moderate Islamist. Their debate was held on Thursday, lasted past midnight.

Groups of Egyptians gathered in cafes to watch the debate which aired on several private television channels.

At one point, Abolfotoh criticized Moussa for being part of the government of former President Hosni Mubarak, saying that Abolfotoh said: "We revolted against this regime."

Moussa said Abolfotoh "used to defend the positions of the Muslim Brotherhood," instead of Egyptian interests.

The military council has promised a transfer of power to an elected president by July 1.埃及本月將舉行總統選舉，兩名居於領先地位的候選人蔘加了首次總統候選人辯論。

這兩名總統候選人是前埃及外交部長穆薩和溫和派穆斯林阿博爾弗託赫。星期四，他們的辯論一直持續到午夜之後。

很多埃及人聚集在咖啡館裏，觀看幾個私營電視頻道轉播的辯論實況。

在辯論中，阿博爾弗託赫批評穆薩曾經隸屬於前總統穆巴拉克的政府，並說“我們舉行起義，反抗這個政府”。

穆薩說，阿博爾弗託赫曾經維護穆斯林兄弟會的立場，而不是捍衛埃及人民的利益。

埃及軍事委員會承諾，將把權力移交給7月1號選出的總統。
