Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak has said he will stay in office and transfer all power only after September's presidential election.

Thousands of anti-government protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square reacted angrily to his announcement.

Activist Mustafa Naggar responded to the leadership's statements, saying: "The street is fed up with Mubarak. If Mubarak leaves the country, he will help to calm the crisis. If he continues, he will lead Egyptians into chaos."

This will not end well. Mubarak won't make it until September.
