Yesterday, millions of the Egyptians protested everywhere against Mubarak's regime. Bahey El-Din wrote here about the peaceful protests that took place in Cairo and all over Egypt.
Then Mubarak gave a speech at night. Many people – including myself – found it a good step from the regime's side. After Mubarak made his speech, people were divided between accepting it as a good initiative and others who believed people should rather continue to demonstrate in downtown Cairo till he steps down.
Raafatology wrote here how he finds Mubarak's offers disappointing.
But a few hours later, a series of new events took place in Cairo. Bahey El-Din wrote here about his own experience for what happened.

Baheyya then wrote how those pro-Mubarak protesters used horses to attack the protesters.

But where is the army? Zeinobia wondered about the role of the army in all this.
May be we didn't get what Mubarak really meant in his speech yesterday. Baheyya stated here what she read between the lines in yesterday's speech.
Finally, Nawara Negm called all Egyptian to get down to Tahrir Square and stand with the protesters there.
