Egyptian uprising idol Mohammed ElBaradei has ordered Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to leave the country by Friday – or he will be a “dead man walking” and not just a lame-duck president.

The aging Egyptian leader, reportedly suffering from cancer, insists he will remain in power. He said Tuesday night, “This dear country is my country ... and I will die on its land.”

Mubarak dramatically announced he will not run in September’s presidential elections, but shortly afterwards, U.S. President Barack Obama dealt him a stinging slap, stating that a transition to a new government should begin “now.”

In addition, he sent a senior diplomat to meet with ElBaradei.

Massive rallies in Cairo in Alexandria on Tuesday were held without the police brutality that killed anywhere between 70 and 300 deaths, depending on which estimate is believed, in previous days. Following Mubarak’s speech, ElBaradei said that a huge protest on Friday, the Muslim day of rest, will be “the Friday of departure” for Mubarak.
