Indeed, they have just taken over. My guess is that means they’ll have even less tolerance for Obama’s orders, and a big sigh of relief was just heard in Jerusalem. That said, the night is still young. df] <http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110210/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt> State TV: Mubarak to address nation Thursday night Associated Press CAIRO – State TV says President Hosni Mubarak will speak to the nation Thursday night from his palace in Cairo. The announcement comes after Egypt's military proclaimed on national television that it stepped in to "safeguard the country" and assured protesters that Mubarak will meet their demands. In Washington, the CIA chief said there was a "strong likelihood" Mubarak will step down Thursday. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/02/10/137129.html Mubarak expected to step down before Friday: ruling party Egypt army says takes 'measures to protect nation' Thursday, 10 February 2011 CAIRO (Al Arabiya) Egypt's armed forces said on Thursday they have started taking "necessary measures to protect the nation and support the legitimate demands of the people" as secretary general of the ruling NDP party said he expected Mubarak to leave office before Friday. An Egyptian army commander, Hassan al-Roweny, had told protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Thursday that "Everything you want will be realized," Al Arabiya TV reported. Without citing a source, CNN television said President Hosni Mubarak would transfer his power as army chief to the army. Roweny addressed protesters from a stage erected in the square, calling on protesters to sing the national anthem and keep Egypt safe. As they heard his words, protesters chanted: "The people demand the fall of the regime" and "The regime has fallen". The secretary general of Egypt’s ruling party on Thursday said Mubarak could "respond to the people's demands by tomorrow.” "I expect the president to respond to the demands of the people, because what matters to him in the end is the stability of the country. The post is not important to him," Hossam Badrawi of the National Democratic Party said. Badrawi did not specify that he was referring to Mubarak stepping down, but a senior military officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP: "We are awaiting orders that will make the people happy."
