Egypt’s pro-democracy uprising is seizing new momentum one day after one of the largest turnouts of protesters so far. Al Jazeera is reporting the Egyptian cabinet building has been evacuated today as protesters gather outside. Tent camps are also being set up outside the Egyptian parliament in a bid to increase pressure on the Egyptian government. Egypt’s labor movement meanwhile has launched new strikes across the country, with an estimated 10,000 workers taking part. In its latest attempt to calm the protests, the Egyptian government has released at least 34 political prisoners. On Tuesday, hundreds of thousands packed Cairo’s Tahrir Square in another display of festive protest. Thousands also took to the streets in the port city of Alexandria.

Protester: '’We are here to protest because we have been under oppression for 30 years, 30 years under injustice and oppression and poverty and illness and all. Enough is enough. We are tired and bored. Enough is enough.'’
