Although it is reported that Hosni Mubarak can't constitutionally step down from his position as President of Egypt, the most up-to-the minute rumor is that Mubarak may be planning a sick leave - to Germany.
As unrelenting calls for Mubarak's resignation grow increasingly louder, the massive protests are now into day 15. Today the top man in the United Nations explains that it simply wasn't possible for Hosni to walk away. First the constitution must be amended.
"There are constitutional steps to be taken by the president in order to amend the constitution," explains Ambassador Maged A. Abdelaziz, as per AOL.
However, it's clear that the protesters will not be satisfied unless Hosni Mubarak is gone from Egypt. Though there have been no reports, at this time, that 82-year-old r Mubarak's health is failing, certainly we can all understand why a long " leave of absence for health reasons" to Germany would be timely. The protesters would hopefully be appeased and it would spare Mubarak continued humiliation.
