Record Turnout Estimated at Egyptian Revolution Rallies 
--------------------------------------------------------



Hundreds of thousands rallied across Egypt on Wednesday to mark the
first anniversary of the start of the revolution that ended Hosni
Mubarak’s three-decade rule and to call for an immediate transfer to
civilian government. Some have called the protests the largest of the
Egyptian revolution to date. In Cairo's Tahrir Square, demonstrators
denounced Egypt's military rulers.

Protester: "I am here so we can achieve the revolution's demands and not
to celebrate the revolution. Because since January 25 not one of the
revolution's demands have been met. So we came to tell the military that
the revolution continues and please return to our borders and protect
our country from the outside, you have no business on the country's
internal affairs."
