Thousands in Egypt vow continued protests until dawn

Cairo - Tens of thousands of protesters continued to demonstrate nationwide Tuesday evening - vowing to carry on until dawn - in one of the largest anti-government protests ever since Egyptian President Hosny Mubarak took power nearly 30 years ago.

Banners and graffiti reading 'Revolution on oppression' and 'Down with Hosny Mubarak' could be seen on buildings and bridges in Cairo.

'I have never seen anything like this before,' said Sarah Abdel- Rahman, 24, who said this was her first time joining a protest in Egypt.

The daylong protest, planned to coincide with Egypt's Police Day, is hoping to emulate the Tunisian uprising that led to the recent ouster of Tunisia's Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali after nearly 23 years in power.

1. Some major group 'over there' wants the entire...
middle east to go up in flames.

Sort of an All-Islamic BBQ.

Who would benefit from this sort of uprising?
