BERLIN, Feb 4 – The United Nations secretary general called on Friday for a "peaceful and orderly" transition process in Egypt, stressing that protests against President Hosni Mubarak must be conducted without violence.
\n<\/strong>
\n"I sincerely hope that the protest today will go without violence. We have seen too much violence and bloodshed," Ban Ki-moon told reporters in Berlin following a meeting with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.<\/p>\n

He added: "It\\’s time to begin a process of peaceful and orderly transition leading to free and fair elections. The UN is ready to assist."
\nHe said the transition process should start "as soon as possible … the sooner the better."<\/p>\n

For his part, Westerwelle said that democratic change should take place right away and that authorities should enter into dialogue with the opposition.<\/p>\n

However, he added: "We must proceed with caution."<\/p>\n

"It\\’s a matter for the Egyptian people who will govern Egypt," said the minister.<\/p>\n

Earlier Berlin said it had summoned the Egyptian ambassador over the violent crackdown on demonstrators and insisted that protests occur peacefully and that attacks on foreigners and journalists must end.<\/p>\n

As the two diplomats were speaking, tens of thousands of people were massing again in Cairo\\’s central Tahrir Square to demand Mubarak step down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
