Prime Minister Ahmad Nazif would run the country until Mr Mubarak returned.

It said the surgery would take place on Saturday morning.

Mr Mubarak, who on Thursday gave a joint news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, had also temporarily delegated power to Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif in 2004 when he had back surgery.

Mr Mubarak has ruled the North African country since October 1981.

Oh ok,

What better example could have been used to illustrate this point other than Mubarak? ,  Mugabe ? lol

And we think it is not possible in Africa, why cant we learn from other countries?

He knows he's gonna come back alive. Umaru knows he's dying, so he doesn't give a damn what happens to the living!
