Egypt's Revolution

The angry voices of Tahrir Square

Egypt's Revolution With the police gone, thousands flock to Tahrir Square to the demand the resignation of incumbent president Hosni Mubarak. For people across Egypt, a threshold of fear has finally been crossed.
In Tahrir square, the message is loud and clear: Mubarak must go. After 30 long years, many ordinary people are no longer afraid to speak out: "We were watched closely, we were scared to speak up" says one man. Despite facing a stubborn and unrelenting president, the protesters are determined to oust Mubarak, with thousands refusing to leave the square: "We will be here until he leaves" another protester shouts. As the sit-in continues, violence breaks out. Trouble-makers on the pro-Mubarak side attack protesters in the square and a hail of stones rains down in retaliation - at least 11 people will be killed in these clashes.
