Egypt Cairo 1 million people at Al Tahrir Square

Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, erupted in mass protests on Jan. 25, 2011, as the revolution in Tunisia earlier in the month seemed to inflame decades worth of smoldering grievances against decades of heavy-handed rule by President Hosni Mubarak. The conflict intensified after Mr. Mubarak said he would not seek reelection but refused to step down, and armed pro-government protesters attacked anti-Mubarak crowds. More than 150 people are estimated to have died in Egypt since the turmoil began, according to human rights groups.
