Egyptians mark first anniversary of revolution

Egyptians have gathered at Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square to mark one year of the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak from power.

But most Egyptians are not in the Square as they are struggling to make a living on two dollars a day or less, in shanty towns and villages across the country.

Tahrir Square has for some become a symbol of people power... to others, a sign of the country's instability and turmoil.

After one year, there's still as much fear as there is hope for the future of the country.

Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros reports from Cairo.

It's nice to see Muslims getting along so well.

That huge roundabout at 00:12 is pretty. We need more of those through out the world. Much safer, cleaner and quieter than intersections. :-)

Why is the reporter wearing California slut wear in Cairo of all places?

A hit piece against the revolution. Silly Aljazeera lady. People in Tahrir aren't sitting in "trendy cafes" – many can't even read. Way to round up opinions against the revolution. I see why Al Jazeera had a few heads changesd out since a year ago.

when the woman- christina says- it would be better if there was no revolution, i know she is having hard time and struggling to survive, but to say this is really ignorant, so she will suffer- but it will be better for her children in future...and that's what matters.
