Stunned protesters in downtown Cairo, which require his resignation waved their shoes in scorn, and cried: “Leave, leave, leave.”

The crowd in Tahrir Square swelled to several hundred thousand in the expectation that Mubarak will announce a resignation in the night-time address to the nation. Instead, they watched in shocked silence, slapping their foreheads in anger and disbelief. Some burst into tears. After he had finished, they broke into chants for him to go.

Immediately after the speech Mubarak, Vice-President Omar Suleiman urged the protesters “home” and asked the Egyptians to unite and face the future. ”

Pair of addresses following a series of dramatic events on Thursday night that raised expectations Mubarak is going to announce his resignation. In surprise step, the military announced on state television that its Supreme Council was in permanent session in scenes that suggested that the armed forces were taking control, possibly to ensure Mubarak goes. Top general to the field of Cairo, said the protesters on the square, that “all of their claims” would have been satisfied, and the protesters lifted him on their shoulders, thinking that meant an end to nearly 30-year authoritarian rule of Mubarak.

Instead, Mubarak has aired a few hours later, providing a 10-minute address, which suggested little had changed. Suleiman was already leading the efforts of the regime to combat the crisis, but the ad gives him his authority with Mubarak, the leading name only. There was no immediate military response.

“I thought it necessary to delegate authority to the President, Vice-President as dictated by the constitution,” Mubarak said at the end of words.

The Constitution allows the president to delegate his powers if he is unable to perform his duties “in connection with any temporary obstacle, but this does not mean his resignation.

Mubarak, who looked frail, but spoke in determined, almost defiant voice, said he will remain in the country and that he was “adamant to continue my shoulder the responsibility to protect the Constitution and protect the interests of the people … until the power is given to those elected in September, people in a free and fair elections in which all the guarantees of transparency will be ensured. ”

Mubarak said that the demands of protesters for democracy simply and legally, but he kept a solid foundation for reforms that Suleiman has been developed and that the protesters are roundly rejected, fearing that this would mean only cosmetic changes, not real democracy.

He said that he had requested an amendment five articles of the Constitution to weaken the current restrictive conditions on who may run for president to restore the judicial oversight of elections, and impose term limits on the presidency.

He also abolished the constitutional article that gives the president the right to order a court martial of civilians accused of terrorism. He said that the step “make way” for recycling in the end hated emergency law, but with a caveat, the basic – “As soon as the security and stability will be restored.”
State of Emergency Act, introduced by Mubarak came to power in 1981, gives the police virtually unlimited powers of arrest.

After the speech, some protestors left the area, tears in her eyes. But most of the crowd left, planning to camp overnight.

“This provocation,” said Mohammed Abdul Rahman, a 26-year-old lawyer who joined the protesters for the first time on Thursday. “It will bring people more and people will come out in large numbers.”

Hazem Khalifa, a young chemist in the crowd, promised the protests would continue. “He was trying to divide people before, now people realize it, and they knew his path,” he said.
