Call for change of Government
• Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians are calling for President Hosni Mubarack to step down. Demonstrators have occupied Tahrir Square, Cairo's central plaza, and vowed to remain at the site until Mubarak's ouster.
• May have been encouraged by protests in January in Tunisia which removed the dictatorial government there.
