GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – Caribbean Community (CARICOM) governments say they are concerned over the removal of the democratically elected president in Egypt and expressed the hope that democracy would be reinstated soon in the country. The regional governments who met in Trinidad and Tobago last week for their 34th annual summit, have also expressed concerns over the detention of President Mohammed Morsi and members of his Mislum Brotherhood party. “Heads of Government viewed with concern the ousting of the democratically elected Government of Egypt, putting an end to Egypt's first experience of representative government. Their concern has been heightened by the detention of President Morsi, the arrests of Muslim Brotherhood officials and activists, the closing of pro-Brotherhood media outlets as well as the rising violence,” the regional leaders said in a communiqué issued late on Monday night.
