Millions of Egyptians Continue Protests, Mubarak Refuses to Step Down

Over five million in Egypt have taken to the streets across the country demanding the immediate end of President Husni Mubarak's 30-year rule. Two million Egyptians continue their protests in the Tahrir square in Cairo, where the opposition forces declared the people will not draw back their demands and will not stop their protests until Mubarak steps down. 

Tanks and troops have been stationed along the route of the march, but the army has promised not to use force against the demonstrators.

Meanwhile, Mubarak pledged on Tuesday night he won't leave Egypt, accusing the opposition of having a secret agenda.

The Egyptian long-time president has defied the widespread calls for his resignation.

"This is my country. This is where I lived, I fought and defended its land, sovereignty and interests, and I will die on its soil," Mubarak said.

Instead, he has accused the opposition of carrying out a secret agenda by turning what he called once peaceful protests violent.

Mubarak said that he would not run in the election scheduled to be held in September but said he would stay in office until then.

After Mubarak's address, protesters said that February 4 would be the "Friday of departure" for the president and announced that they would be gathering at his palace on Friday afternoon.
