Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has given a strong hint that he would start another six-year term this year when he said in an interview he would not put on an act of pretending he planned to retire. But, in the interview broadcast by the Dubai satellite channel Al-Arabiya on Sunday, he also said that governing Egypt was hard work and he would like to relax "if it was up to me". Mubarak's remarks were the latest in a series touching on whether he will seek a fifth term this year, but it was still not fully clear what course he would take. "I could put on an act for you and say I won't stay. The world would rise up in protest and I would have messed everything up. I don't like to play these con games... I am a man who's serious in my work and I work from morning till I go to sleep every day," he said.
