Egypt's Higher Military Council said in a statement received by RIA Novosti on Friday that it has no plans of assuming long-term power over the country after Hosni Mubarak resigned from his presidential post earlier in the day.
"The Higher Military Council is not an alternative to the legal power that would please the Egyptian people," the statement read.
The Higher Military Council also said it would make a number of announcements in the near future on governing the country.
