UPRISING IN EGYPT

Here (some of) the latest news:

At noon (local time in Egypt) al-Jazeera reported that  "About 1,000,000 people have gathered for the planned  'Million Man March'  (MMM) in the Egyptian capital, calling for Hosni Mubarak, to step down."

Despite the Egyptian "authorities'" attempts to disrupt the anti-gov't protests by blocking the entire public traffic, the country prepared since last night for the MMM expected to leave central Cairo in the afternoon.

 
Tens of thousands of people arrived at the Tahrir Square since the early morning, joining about 10,000 protesters who violated the curfew and spent the night there.

Many protesters spent the night on the square, unbowed by the presence of troops and tanks

 
AFP reported in the morning: "Several hundred thousand Egyptians massed Tuesday for the biggest outpouring of anger yet in their drive to oust President Hosni Mubarak, on day eight of a revolt in which an estimated 300 have died".

Meanwhile al-Arabiya reported that "ElBaradei, one of the leaders of the Egyptian uprising, set a deadline for President Hosni Mubarak, calling on him to leave the country by Friday".

"Mubarak will fall!!"
