'Victory march' fills Cairo square - Middle East. Thousands of Egyptians have gathered for prayers for what has been billed as a "victory march" through Cairo's Tahrir Square to mark the overthrow of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak a week ago.
The groups that sparked the 18-day revolt that led to Mubarak's downfall are calling the day the "Friday of Victory and Continuation,'' a name that reflects both their pride in forcing a change in national leadership and their worries about the future. They planned to flood the centre of Cairo wearing white, while Mubarak supporters said they would march in black to "apologise" for his ousting and honour his achievements. The aim of the pro-democracy march was to keep the upbeat spirit of the earlier protests alive, and some flag-draped protesters in Cairo clapped or played musical instruments as they waited for the prayers to begin.
