Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace laurete as well as Egypt's leading advocate for democracy, called for the current President, Hosni Mubarak, to resign from his position. Many members of foreign nations are coming forward, calling for a more peaceful resolution to the protests, currently on its sixth day. The citizens are refusing to listen to Mubarak's attempt at reform and are calling for his immediate removal from office. The Muslim Brotherhood, an outlawed group wanting to form an Islamist state, has said that they would support ElBaradei to head the reformation movement. It'll be interesting to see how the protests play out over the next couple of days, as more protests have started to spring up in other parts of the Middle East.
