CAIRO, May 26, 2012 (AFP) - Egypt's Ahmed Shafiq, the ex-premier of ousted leader Hosni Mubarak who is set to face a Muslim Brotherhood candidate in a presidential run-off, pledged on Saturday to "restore the revolution."
Addressing the youth that spearheaded the 2011 revolt, he said: "your revolution has been hijacked and I am committed to bringing (it) back," he told a news conference, in an apparent reference to the Muslim Brotherhood that already controls parliament.
