The Muslim Brotherhood announce their intention to
join the following day's demonstrations, whilst Salafis
leader Yassir al-Burhami states that he will not take
part.
In the evening, the government shuts down Facebook
and Twitter, and then, after midnight, shuts down the
internet completely. Meanwhile, security forces in most
Egyptian cities prepare for the following day.
January 28
Despite the closure of mobile phone networks and the
internet to prevent the organisation of protests,
hundreds of thousands of people flood out of mosques
after prayers on the 'Friday of Rage' and head for Tahrir
Square. The same happens in Alexandria, Suez,
Mansoura, Ismailiya, Damietta, Fayoum, Damanhur,
Zagazig, Port Said and North Sinai governorate.
Over 800 people are martyred and over a thousand
more injured across the country. Alexandria is hardest
hit, with 87 dead, followed by Suez, with 13.
Having failed to deter protestors, the police withdraw
from Qasr al-Nil bridge in Cairo. Demonstrators gain
control of Alexandria and Suez and burn local National
Democratic Party headquarters and police stations until
Hosni Mubarak, in his role as military commander,
announces a curfew in Cairo, Alexandria and Suez
from 6pm until 7am. Tanks roll into the streets to
maintain security and are welcomed by protestors who
see the army as neutral. The slogan The army and the
people are one hand appears for the first time.
Shortly after midnight, Mubarak delivers a speech to
the Egyptian people in which he dismisses the
government, seemingly unaware that he himself is the
target of the revolutionaries' anger.
January 29
Flouting the curfew, demonstrators pour into Tahrir
Square in the early hours of the morning to demand
Mubarak's resignation, and violent clashes with police
take place in front of the Interior Ministry building,
where three people are martyred and scores more
injured. The military intervene with armoured vehicles
and take control of the situation.

and close ally, as his first-ever vice-president, and

February 2011
February 1
Tahrir Square overflows with demonstrators calling for
Mubarak's resignation in the biggest million-strong
protest yet.
In his speech, Mubarak asks the people to choose
between chaos and stability. He refuses to leave
immediately, but promises a peaceful transition of
power and declares that he does not intend to stand
for another term in office. He asks parliament to
discuss articles 76 and 77 of the constitution, pledges
an inquiry into the causes of the recent security lapse,
and declares that he was born and shall die on
Egyptian soil. The revolution rejects Mubarak's speech
and demands his immediate departure.

strong march to reject Mubarak's speech.
Pro-Mubarak groups appear for the first time since the
outbreak of the revolution in Mustafa Mahmoud
Square in Mohandiseen to demand a return to stability
and to rouse support for the President following his
recent speech. They are joined by a number of artists,
media personalities and footballers.
Hundreds of regime thugs brandishing swords, canes
and bayonets enter Tahrir square on horseback and
camelback to attack the revolutionaries. The army do
not intervene. Demonstrators capture the horses and
camels and repel the attackers to the edges of the
square, where the two sides pelt each other with rocks
in back-and-forth clashes which last until the following
morning. The centre of the square is transformed into
a field hospital packed with casualties. Later on,
Mubarak supporters positioned on the rooftops of
buildings surrounding the square hurl Molotov
cocktails and chunks of cement onto protestors, and
the Egyptian Museum building is also damaged.
Independent revolutionaries and Salafis fight in the
front lines to defend the square with their lives, later
joined by the Ultras then Muslim Brotherhood youth.
The military, claiming neutrality, refuse to intervene,
yet fire into the air to break up demonstrations.
Protestors insist the army permitted the armed thugs to
enter the square and that the attackers were police in

warns that the country is on the verge of 'exploding'
and calls upon the army to intervene.
In his first speech following the transfer of powers,
Omar Suleiman tells citizens to take no notice of
elements intent upon sabotage and chaos, urging

national dialogue.

leaving... It's him that has to leave and
Illegitimate!.

effort punctuated with a few
moments of danger.
