Stunning Observers, Mubarak Refuses to Abdicate
Reader Supported News Staff
Speaking in Cairo moments ago, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak dispelled rumors that he was preparing for a quick relinquishment of power, announcing instead that he would not step down. Speaking on Egyptian television, Mubarak offered that he would delegate some of his powers to his vice president, Omar Suleiman. Details of what powers would be transferred to Suleiman, and when, were not discussed.

The immediate reaction from protesters in the streets of Cairo was one of anger. Many who believed that Mubarak would announce his departure broke into chants of, "Leave now!" upon hearing his words. The unrest - sometimes violent - that has gripped Egypt for 17 days appeared poised to erupt again after the broadcast.



Defiant Mubarak Refuses to Resign
Al Jazeera
Egyptian president vows to remain in office until his term ends in September, and not bow down to 'foreign pressure'.

Rawya Rageh, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Liberation Square said the "mood completely altered as the president progressed with his speech", with protesters expressing "frustration and anger" at him. Hundreds took off their shoes and waved them angrily at a screen showing Mubarak's speech, shouting "Leave, leave!" READ MORE

The Billionaire has spoken

The Egyptian billionaire, Najib Sawiris, is speaking on Al-Arabiyyah TV (news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law). He is one of the "Wise Men"--self-appointed and self-designated. He called on people in Tahrir Square to respond favorably to the speech by Mubarak. All the billionaires in the Square cheered Mr. Sawiris, and the rest ignored him.

Egypt's day of rumour and expectation ends in anger and confusion
Vast crowds in Tahrir Square expected a victory party after the departure of Mubarak – but it was not to be

Rain is rare in Cairo, thunder even more so. Tahrir Square experienced both, and those on the ground took it as a seal of approval for their revolt. As one demonstrator said, looking skyward: "You don't bring down a 30-year dictatorship without a bit of hand-clapping from the gods." But the turbulent weather turned out to be an omen for something else – another night of bitter disappointment and confusion.

Tahrir has been no stranger to mood swings over the past 17 days, but none have been as devastating as this. As darkness fell tens of thousands streamed in to join an ocean of songs, drums and flags; with Mubarak's resignation expected imminently, it seemed as if the Egyptian capital was gearing up for the biggest street party the Arab world has ever seen.

By half past 10, when the president finally shuffled on to the stage, a deathly hush swept the square. Everywhere groups huddled round transistor radios, straining to hear his words. Some thrust camera phones high into the air. "I want to capture the very moment of his departure so I can show my future children," whispered one. That moment never came.

...

But then he told the listening protesters that he too was a young man once, and could understand their concerns. In an instant, Tahrir shook with fury.
