Cairo: Arab League
Secretary General Amr Moussa has expressed his intention to run in
Egypt's next presidential election, Xinhua said, citing state TV.
"I am intending to participate in the next presidential election,
and I'll announce this (officially) at a suitable time," Moussa,
an Egyptian citizen, said in a statement at the League
headquarters Saturday.
Earlier this month, Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister,
had said that he would resign from the position as chief of the
pan-Arab organisation within weeks because he had new plans.
Moussa said that the next secretary general of the Arab League
will be an Egyptian.
Egypt is currently being run by the military. The Supreme Council
of the Armed Forces took the responsibility to run the country for
a six-month transition period, after president Hosni Mubarak
stepped down Feb 11 following 18 days of pro-democracy protests.
