NY TIMES article
In his attempt to save his authoritarian government Mubarak established a curfew in Egypt. He also decided to limit communication, by limiting access to the Internet and telecommunication systems. Mubarak attempt to control the protesters only angered people more leading to open revolt. The crowds are unsatisfied with Mubarak's government and the highly politicized military. The people are tired of the oppression, and it does not seem that Mubarak is willing to change. While he did make a speech in which he promises to change some of his ministers the people have lost hope in him saying they have heard that before.
The Egyptians really seem fed up with the current government, and it is not just one group for many people men and women, young and old, are coming together. The people of Egypt are taking a stand and it seems that they are getting somewhere as Mubarak's word and will is ignored and Egyptians are taking control of streets, and causing damage to the party's head quarters.
