CAIRO, Jan 29 (AFP/Reutrs) - Leading Egyptian dissident Mohamed ElBaradei said today that the appointment of a vice president and a new prime minister in Egypt was not enough to end a revolt against President Hosni Mubarak's rule.
He also urged Mubarak to leave Egypt as soon as possible for the good of the country, in comments to Al Jazeera television. The United States, meanwhile, told Mubarak today it was not enough to simply “reshuffle the deck” with a shake-up of his government and pressed him to make good on his promise of genuine reform.
“The Egyptian government can't reshuffle the deck and then stand pat,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in a message on Twitter.com.
