President-elect Mohamed Morsi is to speak to the people on Friday on the "rebirth of Egypt" when he joins a demonstration at the capital's iconic Tahrir Square, the official MENA news agency reported on Thursday. Morsi "is taking part in the march of a million Egyptians tomorrow at Tahrir Square and across the country," the agency cited his spokesman Yasser Ali as saying, adding that he would "make a speech to the great Egyptian people".
