DemocracyNow.org - The Carter Center was one of three international organizations accredited to witness Egypt's historic presidential election last week. Its mission was led by former US President Jimmy Carter. Two days before the official election results were announced, Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous interviewed President Carter in Cairo about the landmark vote. "It's unprecedented to have a president elected before the president's duties are defined, but I think it can be done successfully and I believe it will," Carter says. He adds that the Carter Center will be in Egypt "for the writing of the constitution and even for the referendum whether Egyptian people can decide to approve or disapprove the draft of the Constitution." He also discusses the role of the military in post-Mubarak Egypt and the Camp David Accords.
