February 2nd, 2011 by Kyle
Protests continued on Wednesday for the 9th day in Tahrir Square in Cairo and around the country. These protests continue amidst promises from the opposition to continue protesting until Mubarak steps down. Mubarak supporters have also taken to the streets and have been seen clashing with opposition protesters. Al Jazeera reports that the opposition protesters are calling on the military to protect them from pro-Mubarak protesters who are attempting to enter Tahrir Square. A military spokesman, addressed the nation on state television calling for an end to protests and a return to normalcy, stating: “The army forces are calling on you. You began by going out to express your demands and you are the ones capable of restoring normal life.” Partial internet service has also been restored in Egypt.
