  • Egyptian Revolution of 2011: Mass Protests in Cairo On January 29, 2011, massive protests erupted across Egypt as citizens demonstrated against the long-standing regime of President Hosni Mubarak. Demonstrators gathered at key locations including the Interior Ministry and Tahrir Square, facing violent police responses and calling for significant political change.
  • Casualties in Egyptian Protests According to Reuters, at least 100 people were killed and 1,000 injured during the protests, highlighting the intense and violent nature of the uprising against Mubarak's regime.
  • Media Coverage of Egyptian Protests Al Jazeera provided nearly uninterrupted live streaming of the protests despite Egyptian government censorship attempts. Meanwhile, CNN reported that its journalists were attacked and their equipment destroyed.
  • Mubarak Appoints New Prime Minister President Hosni Mubarak appointed Ahmed Shafiq as prime minister, maintaining the trend of military-linked individuals in top government positions. This appointment was seen as an attempt to preserve the existing power structure during the ongoing protests.
