Egypt's ruling party leadership steps down: Mubarak holds on

CAIRO (AP) — The leadership of Egypt's ruling party stepped down Saturday as the military figures spearheading the transition tried to placate protesters without giving them the one resignation they demand, President Hosni Mubarak's. The United States gave key backing to the regime's gradual changes, warning of the dangers if Mubarak goes too quickly.

But protesters in the streets rejected the new concessions and vowed to keep up their campaign until the 82-year-old president steps down. Many are convinced that the regime wants wear down their movement and enact only superficial democratic reforms that will leave its deeply entrenched monopoly on power in place.
