Effigies of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak can be seen hanging from traffic lights, as Egyptian anti-government protesters gathered in Tahrir (Liberation) Square, watch U.S. President Barack Obama, not seen, live on a TV broadcast from Washington, speaking about the situation in Egypt, early Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak announced he will not run for a new term in September elections but rejected protesters' demands he step down immediately and leave the country, vowing to die on Egypt's soil, after a dramatic day in which a quarter-million Egyptians staged their biggest protest yet calling on him to go.

General view of anti-government demonstrators gathered at Tahrir Square in Cairo February 2, 2011. Supporters of President Hosni Mubarak, throwing petrol bombs, wielding sticks and charging on horses and camels, fiercely attacked demonstrators in Cairo on Wednesday after the army told protesters to clear the streets. Anti-Mubarak protesters hurled stones back and said the attackers were police in plain clothes, a charge the Interior Ministry denied; the Egyptian government rejected international calls for the leader to end his 30-year-rule now.
