<p>Anti-government protesters in Egypt expressed anger after vice president Omar Suleiman warned the country could fall to a coup unless they joined talks.</p>
<p>His remarks cast a shadow over efforts to put together negotiations with the opposition over democratic reforms.</p>
<p>The protesters fear the regime will manipulate the talks and conduct only superficial reforms, so they insist they will not enter negotiations until president Hosni Mubarak steps down.</p>
<p>Thousands of protesters chanting &#8220;we are not leaving until he leaves&#8221; camped overnight in Cairo&#8217;s Tahrir Square, the centre of their demonstrations.</p>
<p>Many have been sleeping underneath the tanks of soldiers surrounding the square to prevent them from moving or trying to clear the area for traffic.</p>
<p>Tahrir Square has turned into a giant living room for the protesters, who wake early in the morning to fill the streets, distribute sweets and welcome visitors who come to take pictures of the tanks and protesters&#8217; banners.</p>
<p>Mr Suleiman&#8217;s comments were a blunt, impatient warning for the protest&#8217;s organisers to enter talks and drop their insistence on Mr Mubarak&#8217;s removal. He rejected any immediate departure for Mr Mubarak &#8211; who says he will serve out the rest of his term until September elections &#8211; or any &#8220;end to the regime.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We can&#8217;t bear this for a long time,&#8221; he said of the Tahrir protests. &#8220;There must be an end to this crisis as soon as possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>However Abdul-Rahman Samir, a spokesman for a coalition of the five main groups behind the protests in Tahrir Square, said Mr Suleiman was creating &#8220;a disastrous scenario&#8221;. &#8220;He is threatening to impose martial law, which means everybody in the square will be smashed,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But what would he do with the rest of 70 million Egyptians who will follow us afterward?&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, an al Qaida in Iraq front group attempted to exploit the situation by urging Egyptians to join holy war and establish an Islamic state. The Islamic State of Iraq warned Egyptians against being deceived by &#8220;the malicious secularism, the infidel democracy and the rotten pagan nationalism&#8221;.</p>
