THE AUSTRALIAN: EGYPT is braced for a new round of violence today following unprecedented nationwide demonstrations demanding the end to the 30-year authoritarian rule of ageing President Hosni Mubarak.
Two protesters and a policeman were killed yesterday in demonstrations inspired by "the Tunisia effect".
Despite a day of violence and a huge show of force by the regime, the youth group co-ordinating the demonstrations last night urged Egyptians to return to the streets today to force Mr Mubarak from power.
Using Facebook, the group said: "Everyone needs to head down to Tahrir Square to take over the square once again." >>> John Lyons, Middle East correspondent | The Australian | Thursday, January 27, 2011
