ElBaradei: Mubarak not listening to people with VP appointment
Egyptian activist Mohamed ElBaradei said Hosni Mubarak's appointment of a vice president and a new prime minister was useless and he had not listened to the will of thousands of people calling for 30-year-rule to end.
The 82-year-old president picked intelligence chief Omar Suleiman for vice president, the first time he has given someone the position. He also named a former air force commander and aviation minister, Ahmed Shafiq, as prime minister. "Hosni Mubarak has not heard the people," said ElBaradei, 68, who has suggested he might run for president if democratic and constitutional change was implemented, describing the appointments as "useless" to Al Jazeera television.
