Wael Ghonim Talks with CNN's Ivan Watson

In an exclusive interview with CNN’s Ivan Watson, Egyptian Google executive Wael Ghonim vowed “it is no longer the time to negotiate" with the Egyptian government. Ghonim said he and a group of activists helped mobilize the first protest on January 25th, which touched off a popular revolution that continues to shakes the foundation of Hosni Mubarak's regime. Yet Ghonim said he is uncomfortable about being the face of the popular uprising in Egypt. "This is not about me," he said several times during an hour-long and emotional interview in a relative's Cairo apartment.
