Google exec speaks exclusively to 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.

He also said he’s “ready to die” for change in Egypt.

Note: The full interview will air at 1600ET/2100GMT on CNN International’s Connect the World program.

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 shake 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.
