President Hosni Mubarak is expected to resume his normal activities from Cairo on Wednesday after spending 38 days in Sharm el-Sheikh recovering from a surgical operation undergone in Germany in March.

The president is scheduled to meet with Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the peace process after the Arab Follow-up Committee gave its support to indirect negotiations between the PA and Israel.

On Thursday, Mubarak is expected to attend May Day celebrations at the International Conference Center in Heliopolis.

The president met Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki in Sharm el-Sheikh on Tuesday to discuss the latest developments in Africa in general, and the Horn of Africa in particular.

Meanwhile, residents of Alexandria’s Tosson area, who have been protesting against a decision by the authorities to evacuate them from their homes, celebrated the president’s 82nd birthday on Tuesday, and called on him to address their grievances.
