Full-scale uprising in Egypt

  • The anti-government protests in Egypt which began on Tuesday have now snow-balled into a full-scale uprising, as ordinary Egyptians prepare for the long-haul to bring down the 30-year old dictatorship of President Hosni Mubarak.
  • Major protests are now planned, following the afternoon Muslim prayers on Friday.
  • Observers say that Friday's demonstrations are likely to be large because the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's largest opposition group, which has so far stated away, has decided to join the proposed protests. 
  • Besides, Mohamed ElBaradei, former International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, turned political reformist, is joining these demonstrations
