MANSOURA - Former UN nuclear chief Mohamed ElBaradei said Friday that the way people cheer for him everywhere he goes only shows that Egyptians want change. "I think it shows that people are hungry for change," ElBaradei told the German Press Agency dpa, as he toured a small village in the northern city of Mansoura. A crowd of about 150 people had cheered ElBaradei after he finished prayers in the al-Nour mosque earlier in the day, singing the national anthem, waving flags and chanting slogans. "It is natural that people come out and seek democratic changes in Egypt," ElBaradei said. ElBaradei visited a small kidney hospital in the village of Aga, north of Cairo, and met with doctors there. Mohamed el-Sayyed, a 29-year-old guard at the hospital, said that ElBaradei's visit is "something good and new," adding that he "liked what he heard from ElBaradei in his TV interviews."
