Egypt’s autocratic leader, Hosni Mubarak announced his plans to remain president of Egypt, yet, more and more voices begin to consolidate power both inside the government, and outside its walls. Opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei tweeted out, “Egypt  will explode. Army must save country now,” in response to Mubarak. Furthermore, some reports suggest Egypt’s Army is deeply divided over how to deal with Mubarak. The question now is,  how much longer can Mubarak count on the military’s support?  

For the answer we hear from Scott Shane,  national security reporter for The New York Times. Zachary Lockman, Professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies and History at New York University also helps analyze events.
