埃及本月将举行总统选举,两名居于领先地位的候选人参加了首次总统候选人辩论。
  
这两名总统候选人是前埃及外交部长穆萨和温和派穆斯林阿博尔弗托赫。星期四,他们的辩论一直持续到午夜之后。
  
很多埃及人聚集在咖啡馆里,观看几个私营电视频道转播的辩论实况。
  
在辩论中,阿博尔弗托赫批评穆萨曾经隶属于前总统穆巴拉克的政府,并说“我们举行起义,反抗这个政府”。
  
穆萨说,阿博尔弗托赫曾经维护穆斯林兄弟会的立场,而不是捍卫埃及人民的利益。
  
埃及军事委员会承诺,将把权力移交给7月1号选出的总统。

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

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.
