Thousands of people took part in rare anti-government protests in Egypt after an internet campaign inspired by the uprising in Tunisia. In Cairo, where the biggest rallies were held, police used tear gas and water cannons in an attempt to disperse the crowds. At least three people have been killed, reports say.
Some people say that they won't stop until Mubarak is gone. The noise from the street is increasing not decreasing even though it is 2230 (2030 GMT). There are more people now than during the day.
The atmosphere is very tense, it feels like a revolution. I see people who are determined, people who have nothing to lose, people who want a better future. This protest is different. Previous protests would last about an hour, this seems to be much larger, much longer.
