Report: Mubarak leaves Egypt for Germany

Despite the reports, Zeina Khodr, Al Jazeera’s correspondent in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, said people in Egypt are not convinced that the news is true.

They are holding the military to the promise of keeping Mubarak in the country to stand trial for alleged crimes under his presidency, she said.

“The army has repeatedly said Mubarak would not be able to leave Egypt, even for medical treatment.”

She added that if true, news of Mubarak’s departure would “definitely cause a lot of anger on the streets of Egypt”.
