CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood said on Monday it could pull out of talks with the government if opposition demands were not met, including the immediate exit of President Hosni Mubarak who on Monday chaired a cabinet meeting.

Mubarak, 82, who refuses calls to end his 30-year-old rule before September polls, saying his resignation would cause chaos in the Arab world’s most populous nation, has tried to focus on restoring order and his government seems to be buying time.

Protesters, barricaded in a tent camp in Tahrir Square in the heart of Cairo, have vowed to stay until Mubarak quits and hope to take their campaign to the streets with more mass demonstrations on Tuesday and Friday.

Keen to get traffic moving around Tahrir Square, the army tried early on Monday to squeeze the area the protesters have occupied. Overnight campers rushed out of their tents to surround soldiers attempting to corral them into a smaller area

I noticed FoxNews website... nothing to speak of. Media lost interest I agree.. Or White House has?

Do not know, what to think about this one. Interesting (exchange rate), and noted the 15% monetary compensation increase for Egypt government employees, above this posted information.

If confirmed, that’s yet more decline. And now people are talking about trying to take over the state TV station in Cairo.

Thanks for the updates, HushTX — ‘news’ has been pretty sparse today, and every bit helps....

Here is a new FR thread about the Google exec. who disappeared. The continuation page has almost 49,000 comments [enjoy, you communication junkies out there], and 141 photos on the “click the photo” spot. I note that this Egypt thread #2 is no longer listed over on the right side for breaking news and the like.

Thanks to both of you, for the updates. Info is sparse. The night appears darker, till one is able to turn on a light. If the power is working. Info still sparse even when the light goes on sometimes. Prayerful for abundant light.

Last comment on link (currently-post #8), noted Mod is as frustrated as are many relating to the Breaking News listings abuse be made note of. My greatest fear is the grammar police will show up and shrill at me for ending a sentence with a preposition. (weak smile)
