Cairo/Washington: Embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will address the nation
Thursday night, amid swirling rumours that he is likely to step
down.
Mubarak will address the nation from the presidential headquarters
in Cairo, said state TV.
An official of Egypt's ruling party told CNN Thursday that the
process of transition was underway and he expected the president
to address the nation soon.
Mubarak, 82, is under intense pressure to end his nearly 30-year
rule following mass protests that have swept across the country.
The protests, which began Jan 25, have considerably intensified
with demonstrators camping in downtown Cairo's Tahrir square.
The president has said he is prepared to step down at the end of
his term in September, but not now. He has even warned that there
could be chaos if he left now.
