Protestors in Egypt are organizing a million march against President Hosni Mubarak.

While Internet access has been severely been limited by government intervention, many protestors are organizing a million member march against President Hosni Mubarak. The President dismissed his entire cabinet and appointed a new Vice-President in order to appease the protestors, but many Protestors are demanding that President Mubarak step down from office.

Without access to social networking sites, organizing a large protest has been difficult, but foreign internet providers outside of Egypt have been providing dialup service to allow Egyptians send messages out into the world.

While the government has imposed curfew in most part of the country, many protestors have defied. There have been numerous reports of looting, including in Museums that hold many of the Egyptian artifacts. Civilians as well as the military have setup barriers to prevent looting of priceless Egyptian treasures.

Reuters and France 24 have setup a 24 hour live blogging coverage of the developments in Egypt.
