• Egypt gears up for gigantic protest

  Protesters are trickling in to Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the planned starting point of a “march of a million”, on the eighth day of an uprising that has claimed at least 125 lives in clashes between demonstrators and police.

  You certainly get the feeling that the organizers will get the numbers that they want. The word is out there, despite the fact that the internet is still down … that people need to attend this march of a million.

  Gigi Ibrahim, a political activist who is planning on attending the rally, told Al Jazeera the protesters will not be satisfied until Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, steps down.
