[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 141995, member: 35"] You can see in this article what Soul-jyot ji is referring to as far as "contradictory" is concerned. The Supreme Council of Egyptian Armed Forces has met to discuss the ongoing protests against the government of Hosni Mubarak, the president. In a statement entitled 'Communique Number One', televised on state television, the army said it had convened the meeting response to the current political turmoil, and that it would continue to convene such meetings. Thurday's meeting was chaired by Mohamed Tantawi, the defence minister, rather than Mubarak, who, as president, would normally have headed the meeting. "Based on the responsibility of the armed forces and its commitment to protect the people and its keenness to protect the nation... and in support of the legitimate demands of the people [the army] will continue meeting on a continuous basis to examine measures to be taken to protect the nation and its gains and the ambitions of the great Egyptian people," the statement. The army's statement was met with a roar of approval from protesters in Tahrir Square, as tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters poured in. Thousands also gathered in Alexandria, Egypt's second city, our correspondent reported. Earlier, Hassan al-Roweni, an Egyptian army commander, told protesters in the square that "everything you want will be realised". Click here for more on Al Jazeera's special coverage Protesters have demanded that Mubarak immediately stand down as president. Hassam Badrawi, the secretary general of the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP), told the BBC and Channel 4 News on that he expected Mubarak to hand over his powers to Omar Suleiman, the vice-president. "I think the right thing to do now is to take the action that would satisfy ... protesters," Badrawi told BBC television in a live interview. Ahmed Shafiq, the country's prime minister, also told the BBC that the president may step down on Thursday evening, and that the situation would be "clarified soon". He told the Reuters news agency, however, that Mubarak remained in control, and that "everything is still in the hands of the president". However, Anas el-Fekky, Egypt's information minister, denied all reports of Mubarak resigning. "The president is still in power and he is not stepping down," el-Fekky told Reuters. "The president is not stepping down and everything you heard in the media is a rumour." State television has announced that Mubarak is due to deliver an address to the nation on Thursday night from the presidential palace in Cairo. It also reported that Mubarak was meeting with Omar Suleiman, the vice-president, at the presidential palace. 'Witnessing history unfold' Mahmoud Zaher, a retired general in the Egyptian army, said that Mubarak's absence from the army meeting was a "clear and strong indication that [Mubarak] is no longer present", implying that the Egyptian president was not playing a role in governance any longer. In short comments ahead of a scheduled speech at Northern Michigan University, Barack Obama, the US president, said the US was watching the situation in Egypt "very closely". "What is absolutely clear is that we are witnessing history unfold," he said, adding that this was a "moment of transformation" for Egypt. "Going forward, we want ... all Egyptians to know that America will continue to do everything that we can to support an orderly and genuine transition to democracy." Wael Ghonim, the Google executive who has played a key role in helping protesters get organised, said on the microblogging site Twitter on Thursday evening: "Mission accomplished. Thanks to all the brave young Egyptians." He added shortly after, however, that protesters should "wait and see" before reaching any conclusions. Jacky Rowland, our correspondent in Tahrir Square, described the atmosphere as "electric", with "standing room only" in the central Cairo area. She said that thousands gathered there were "celebrating a victory which has been anticipated, rather than actually achieved". In Alexandria, Jamal ElShayyal, our correspondent, described the atmosphere as "festive and joyous". Some opposition groups, however, have said that they are concerned about how Mubarak would hand power over to, were he to resign. "It looks like a military coup," said Essam al-Erian of the Muslim Brotherhood, the banned but tolerated group which is the biggest organised opposition party in Egypt. "I feel worry and anxiety. The problem is not with the president it is with the regime." Hosni Mubarak 'may step down' Speaking to Al Jazeera, Amin Eskander, the leader of the Karama opposition movement said that he believed that Mubarak would stand down. He also said that he was not concerned if power was handed over to the military for an interim period, as he said the army was working in the interests of the people. Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, responded to reports that Mubarak may resign by saying that he hoped whoever replaced him would uphold Egypt's peace treaty with Israel, according to an Israeli radio report.
