VIENNA, (Reuters) – Prominent Egyptian reform campaigner Mohamed ElBaradei said he expected large demonstrations across Egypt tomorrow and that the time had come for President Hosni Mubarak to leave power.
“He has served the country for 30 years and it is about time for him to retire,” ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize-winning former head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, told Reuters shortly before he was due to leave Vienna for Cairo today.
“Tomorrow is going to be, I think, a major demonstration all over Egypt and I will be there with them,” he added, calling for peaceful protests.
