The Egypt's Military Council, in charge of leading the country since February 11th 2011 putting an end to 30 years of Mubarak's autocratic regime, decided to deprive Egyptians abroad from their right to vote.

The Egyptian diaspora represents 4 million people living in 139 countries. Their rights as citizens were denied to them for the very arbitrary reason of the possibility of their votes being "sold" to non-Egyptian interests.

The Egyptian diaspora is fully part of Egypt, and the Egyptians living abroad are therefore asking for their rights as citizen to be respected.
