Egypt - opposition paper comes out

How long will it last?

A weekly newspaper issued by a jailed Egyptian party leader has appeared at news stands for the first time.

In the inaugural edition, Ayman Nour announces his plans to run in the country's first multi-candidate presidential election later this year.


You might recall that Ayman Nour's arrest sparked US Secretary of State, Condi Rice, to cancel here trip to Egypt.

The changes in the Middle East are coming thick and fast. Let's hope they continue.
