Go home, army tells Egyptian protesters

CAIRO - A spokesman for Egypt’s Army urged protesters Wednesday to end demonstrations and return home, saying it was for the sake of stability of the country.

The address was made on state television, as thousands of protesters were again streaming in the late morning to Tahrir Sqaure in central Cairo, to protest against President Hosni Mubarak.

Late Tuesday, Mubarak said he would step down, but only at the end of his term in September.

Meanwhile, pro-government rallies were also planned for Cairo.
