Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak addressed the nation from the Presidential Palace Thursday night, sparking another wave of protests. According to Associated Press estimates, hundreds of thousands have gathered on Tahrir Square in central Cairo.
Addressing the nation from the Presidential Palace in Cairo, Mubarak said he “saw fit to delegate presidential jurisdictions to the vice president, as defined by the constitution."
On Friday, the Armed Forces’ Supreme Council had text messages sent to all cell phone users, saying the military was holding an emergency meeting on the national crisis, and that they would issue an important statement soon.
Protests against the ruling regime started on January 25. Since then, at least 300 people have been killed and over 5,000 wounded.
