OSLO, Norway: The upcoming elections in Egypt must be fair and democratic, said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon Monday during a visit to Norway.

"The Egyptian and Tunisian people managed to realize their dreams and ambitions by achieving a democracy," he said. "The two oppressors in both countries, Ben Ali and Mubarak, were toppled by the people's power."

The Secretary-General said that he is in contact with Egyptian political leadership, and emphasized that the next elections must be fair and democratic.

He did not comment on Sunday’s clashes between protesters and military police outside of Maspiro, the building hosting Egyptian television. Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store expressed his concerns about the clashes, and said that the transitional process must continue.
