An Egyptian anti-government protester marches with a banner reading "the end" in Tahrir Square, downtown Cairo, Feb. 10, 2011. Egypt's military announced on national television it had stepped in to secure the country and promised protesters calling for President Hosni Mubarak's ouster that all their demands would soon be met. Tens of thousands of protesters packed into central Tahrir broke into chants of "We're almost there, we're almost there" and waved V-for-victory signs as thousands more flowed in to join them well after nightfall. They were proven wrong by Mubarak's speech.
