Thousands of anti-government protesters swarmed the battered streets of central Cairo today, demanding that President Hosni Mubarak step down. The mods are attacking police as the Cabinet resigned.<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Mubarak has pledged reform and has dismissed his government but the actions have done little to cool the anger venting over Egypt’s crushing poverty, unemployment and corruption.

“God, bring change, justice and peace to Egypt. Poverty and oppression is never your will. Things do need to change in Egypt. But let your hand Bring calm and patience and order and wisdom in the process. Resist those who would abuse this disorder and use it for their own ends.

It will take a miracle, but you do miracles. In Jesus…” <\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
