While not refusing to resign and leave the country, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced that deliver power to the vice president ordered Omar Suleiman and constitutional amendments, which caused an explosion of anger among the hundreds of thousands of people for more than two weeks demanding his departure.
The move means that will keep his title of president until elections in September and assures the control scheme on the reform process, which violates the protesters' demands. Government opponents gathered in Tahrir Square (Liberation), who hoped that Mubarak announced his resignation immediately, puzzled and quietly watched the speech.
When the president finished his words, some protesters erupted in anger, others wept and waved some more high shoes, shouting: "¬ Go, go away!". The announcement did change the character of the speech in the White House. U.S. President Barack Obama, raised the tone and warned that the partial transfer of power of the Egyptian ruler is not a credible or specific change.
Just last Sunday, Obama had stressed that only Mubarak would soon know whether the president in a message of tolerance toward those who defined as a "good partner" in the U.S.. That time said he was more concerned about the possibility that the ideology of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, the religious-political group in Egypt largest anti-American line, had too much influence in the new government.
The State Department, led by Hillary Clinton, endorsed Obama to support the same day: "Hosni Mubarak may stay longer in the power of what the opposition wants to ensure the holding of elections." Clinton even cited the Constitution (Egyptian): "If the president resigns is replaced by the speaker of parliament and the presidential election should be organized within 60 days" and said the pressure on Mubarak to yield "may be diminishing." After hearing a version on the possibility of resignation of Mubarak, the crowd rose in Tahrir Square in several hundred thousand.

The armed forces announced on state television that its Supreme Council was in permanent session and showed images suggesting that the armed forces would take control, perhaps to ensure that Mubarak is removed. But the desire not listen. Instead, immediately after Mubarak's speech. After nearly 30 years at the helm of Egypt, the honorable achievement of military hero in the war against Israel in October 1973 was used to take for granted the support of the Egyptians and had lost the pulse of the street.
Sayyid Muhammad Hosni Mubarak, was born in 1928 in Kufr el-Musailaha, a Nile Delta village where his parents were small farmers. As every president since the coup that ended the monarchy in 1952, Mubarak came to politics through the Army. He trained as a military pilot in the former Soviet Union and became chief of the Air Force.
He was not known until then no political ambitions. Perhaps because of this, Anwar Sadat appointed him vice president in 1975. Six years later, the assassination of President who dared to make peace with Israel was placed in front of the most populous Arab country. While stopping short of the presidency through the ballot box, Mubarak defended his position in successive plebiscites.
The old Egyptians say they initially promised not to rule more than two terms. At 82 years (only 0.4% of Egyptians have that old) still thought to stand for president next September.

So when the news that finally say goodbye Hosni Mubarak began to run like wildfire Friday afternoon the foreign ministries of the Middle East, the silence and caution prevailed. For countries such as Syria and Hezbollah and Hamas parties, the fall of Mubarak and the likely loss of Western influence in the area does not mean more than good news, while for the neighbors who have the support of Washington-Israel and Saudi Arabia , fears outweigh euphoria.

And is that fear of destabilizing the region, but also in the case of Arab countries, their populations emulate the Egyptians and take to the streets to demand democracy.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has expressed in recent days his unconditional support for Mubarak, and has even come to inform the President Obama that if the U.S. withdraws its support for Egyptian billionaire, they financed, according to The Times.
