Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Egypt in a new series of protests, this time dubbed "Game Day" which coincided with the day of Muslim prayer, hoping to force the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak. In Cairo, a crowd of about 200,000 people, only in Tahrir Square (Liberation), where opponents, dug from the January 25, resisted an eviction attempt by Mubarak's supporters, in a pitched battle that left eight dead.
The UN estimates that since the beginning of the protests were about 300 dead and thousands injured. According to the Ministry of Health, five thousand people were injured, since last weekend. The banned Muslim Brotherhood group tried to allay the concerns of the West and Israel over the possible rise to power in a free vote.
A day after Omar Suleiman, the Egyptian vice president, said he could join a national dialogue, the organization announced that it will not compete for the presidency. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, welcomed what he called an "Islamic liberation movement in Egypt. The Shia Khamenei, who represents a different branch of Islam they profess the Sunni Arabs, praised the demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt.
