CHANTS IN TAHRIR AFTER FRIDAY PRAYERS

"The people want the fall of the regime"

"Leave, leave, leave"; "Join us, join us"

"We want the murderer to be tried"

"The army and people are united"

AHMED KHIDR, 27, MOBILE PHONE SHOP OWNER AND PROTESTER

"Why should we go now? I'll be a fool to leave after all this murder and this sabotage. I have been in Tahrir for four days. I don't understand, why doesn't he get, he needs to go.

"We don't want ElBaradei either, and I don't want the Muslim Brotherhood but I want a transitional government that will give us time to prepare for a truly free and fair election. If Mubarak loves Egypt, he should go."

ABDEL HALIM MOHAMED ALI, 62, TECHNICAL SCHOOL TEACHER AND

SUPPORTER OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

"I will not wash, and I will not take my medicine until he leaves. We need freedom, all freedoms. Omar Suleiman is good as long as he leads a temporary government. We welcome anyone who leads a temporary government even (Coptic) Pope Shenouda."

METWALY FARGHALI, 32, PROTESTER

"We are not going to leave the square. We want the army on our side but the army must realize the people's revolution is here to stay."

* YEHYA EL GAMMAL, RETIRED FORMER MINISTER

"We are here to support these youths who are fighting for their freedom and revived Egypt's soul. The legitimacy of the system is long gone. None of us want to live in a constitutional vacuum or to have a repeat of the 1952 revolution."

* ABDEL AZIZ HOSSEINY, KEFAYA OPPOSITION MOVEMENT MEMBER

"Egyptians are sentimental people and many of them were willing to call it quits after Mubarak's speech, but the violence that happened showed us all that you cannot trust the system because it will continue on its path.

"Even yesterday, while Shafiq and Suleiman were speaking of punishing those responsible for the violence in Tahrir, the thugs were throwing people's food into the Nile."

MOHAMED RAFAH TAHTAWY, SPOKESMAN FOR EGYPT'S HIGHEST ISLAMIC AUTHORITY, AL AZHAR, WHICH IS RUN BY THE STATE

"I have resigned. I am participating in the protests and I have issued statements that support the revolutionists as far as they go, however I will always remain in the service of Al Azhar and its grand Imam."

KHALED YOUSSEF, DIRECTOR OF FILMS CRITICAL OF GOVERNMENT

"The Brotherhood are here in Tahrir, so what? They are part of this nation - everyone is here. When citizens desire life, fate must respond."

SHERIF ABDEL KADER, 23, ACCOUNTANT HEADING TO TAHRIR

"I think today is the finale of this charade, the 30 years of oppression and breaking the human law that every respectable government can uphold."

SHOWAN EBADI, 23, FLEW IN FROM SWEDEN TO SUPPORT THE PROTEST

"I think it is important to support democracy and our government in Sweden is supporting a dictator."

NAGWA SALEM, 26, BANKER

"My entire life is paralyzed. I can't go to work or even go out. There is no security on the streets, and life has become unstable. I want Mubarak and his regime to leave, but it makes no difference to me whether he leaves immediately or in six months. Even after the protests end and all those events are over, my life will not go back to normal. I will still be afraid to take my car anywhere or stay out late at night."

ALIYA GALAL, 21, UNIVERSITY STUDENT

"I'm depressed. Enough is enough. I'm sick and tired of all those protests. I want my life to go back to normal. The country is gridlocked. In my opinion, Mubarak made huge concessions, and perhaps the new government is good. We need to give them (government) a chance."

HESHAM GALAL, 33, ENGINEER

"My life has turned upside down. I've become like a bat -- I stay up at night to guard my neighborhood and sleep in the morning. I feel I'm batman."

ESSAM MASSOUD, 39, TAXI DRIVER

"I'm very upset because the curfew has cut my work hours short. And there are few people around because they are afraid to go out. Business is very minimal, and I have installments on this taxi that I have to pay on a monthly basis."

HUSSEIN MAHMOUD, 48, SHOP OWNER

"Food products have become expensive. There is no money in the ATM machines, and the banks are closed. My shop is opened, but no one is buying anything. I tell Mubarak: enough, you have to leave. The protesters want him to leave now because they fear his revenge later or that he might change his mind and decide to remain in power. A new president has to come, with a new mindset."

ASSMAA BAYOUMY, 57, HOUSEWIFE

"I want the security back again. I want Egypt to return to normal. The banks are closed, and I don't have an ATM card, so I only spend money on necessities. I am worried about my children taking part in the protests because I heard the protests are chaotic and filled with thugs."

NASER, OWNER OF A DOWNTOWN BAKERY STORE

"Our lives have stopped. I agree with everything the protesters ask for and were able to get for us but life is very hard and we don't know what to do."

* AHMED RAMADAN, 28, TEACHER, IN NILE DELTA CITY QALYUBIYA

"Mubarak should leave because there is no place for him in Egypt. He has not achieved our demands and how can we guarantee that if he continued in power he will not rearrange himself and continue to steel what is left from the country's fortunes."

* ABDEL RAHMAN MOHAMED, 45, ENGINEER, ALSO IN QALYUBIYA

"Mubarak has been busy with foreign politics and left the internal politics to be run by his son Gamal and his group, providing them with an opportunity to steal the fortunes of the state."
