15. Egypt protesters hold their ground With protests demanding end to Mubarak's rule entering the 12th day, people in Tahrir Square prepared to wait him out. Last Modified: 05 Feb 2011 11:37 GMT Demonstrators are still standing their ground in Cairo hours after hundreds of thousands of people gathered to call for Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, to quit. The protests entered their twelfth day on Saturday, a day after the city's Tahrir Square, the focal point of protests in Egypt, saw demonstrators observe a "Day of Departure". The morning has been calm so far except for a standoff between two separate groups chanting slogans. However, the military soon moved in and there are more soldiers on the ground now.
