Egypt's Interim President Adly Mansour stated Saturday that his country is undergoing a phase of ideological, social and economic shift. In a speech read out on his behalf by his Scientific Advisor Essam Haji during a conference for Egyptian scientists who moved to the United States and Canada, Mansour urged all Egyptian scientists and scholars to unite to help their country eradicate poverty, illiteracy and diseases.
