Democracy Now!‘s Sharif Kouddous has been sending regular updates from Cairo on the Egyptian revolution against Mubarak, and today, one week after the January 25 protests that began the uprising, Egyptians from "all walks of life" are in the streets.

Kouddous says Egyptians have come out to "speak with one voice and have a full-throated call for democracy. They want Mubarak out and they will not stop" until he is gone. Kouddous adds, "If today is not the day, then the next big decider will be Friday."
