Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak may announce today whether he will step down as the army discusses measures “to safeguard the interests” of the country after more than two weeks of protests demanding his ouster.
Mubarak will decide “within hours” whether to resign, Cabinet spokesman Magdi Rady said in a telephone interview today. He will give an evening address from the presidential palace in Cairo, state television said. President Barack Obama said people were “witnessing history.”
