Protesters flood Cairo

Cairo - More than 200 000 Egyptian men and women, from students and doctors to the urban poor, rallied in central Cairo on Tuesday in the biggest demonstration so far in an uprising against President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.
Waving Egyptian flags and banners saying “Bye-Bye Mubarak,” the protesters rejected promises of reform to his authoritarian rule and demanded that he quit. About 20 000 gathered in Suez, chanting: “Leave, leave... revolution, revolution everywhere.”
