Protests in Egypt, Cairo is widespread

Cairo, Egypt. February 1, 2011

Reason For Protests in Egypt, Cairo: This seems to be corelated to the
Tunisian protests.
After the 1981 assassination of President Anwar El Sadat, Hosni Mubarak has
headed Egypt's semi-presidential republic government. Mubarak and his
National Democratic Party (NDP) government have ruled under a continuous
state of emergency with a heavy hand, cracking down on Islamic
militants.[Source Wiki]
The issues for protesters include: legal and political issues including
police brutality, state of emergency laws, lack of free elections and free
speech,[16] and corruption,[16] as well as economic issues including high
unemployment,[17] food price inflation,and low minimum wages. Demands from
protest organizers included rights of freedom and justice, the end of the
Hosni Mubarak regime, and a new government that represents the interests of
the Egyptian people.

Amongst the protesters is Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the
International Atomic Energy Agency.
