Protests Continue, Million Man March Called for Tuesday in Cairo

Today, Monday marks one week to the beginning of the protests in Egypt. Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians have been flowing into the streets of the country to protest the corrupt regime of the Egyptian President Husni Mubarak. And for the seventh day, they did as well despite the threats and the violence used against them by the Egyptian police.

Egyptian protesters, demanding President Hosni Mubarak's ouster, have called for a "million man march" in the capital city of Cairo amid rising clamor in the North African country.

Organizers said on Monday that they have called for the march on Tuesday to mark one week since the start of the biggest anti-government protests in politically-unstable Egypt in three decades, according to AFP.
On Sunday, the Egyptian troops received orders to shoot at the protestors. Military helicopters and F-16 fighter jets made low passes over Cairo's Tahrir Square, which is one of the epicenters of the uprising, as the number of protesters kept rising.

More than 150 people have so far been killed and thousands others injured since the protests erupted on January 25.
