Cairo: Supreme Command Council of Egypt military has announced its support for President Hosni Mubarak.
An importing meeting of Supreme Council for the armed forces, presided over by the Defence Minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi was held on Friday.
The military endorsed Mubarak’s plan for a peaceful transfer of power, and for free and fair presidential elections later in the year.
The army also supported the president’s decision not to resigns
Several hundred angry protesters gathered outside the presidential palace in Cairo on Friday, demanding that Mubarak step down.
The military’s support is likely to enrage protesters further. Many protesters had hoped the army would have “a strong reaction” to Mubarak’s refusal to step down. They had also called on the army in recent days to intervene against him.
