Egyptians put flowers on a memorial set up to honor people killed during the January 25 protests, in Tahrir Square, Egypt, Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011. The main coalition of youth and opposition groups says it will end its protest in a central Cairo square after they succeeded in ousting longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak. But the groups say they will call for weekly demonstrations to maintain pressure on the ruling military to implement democratic reforms.

Opposition supporters gather round a shrine for victims of the riots in Tahrir Square in Cairo February 12, 2011. Egyptians woke to a new dawn on Saturday after 30 years of autocratic rule under Hosni Mubarak, full of hope after achieving almost unthinkable change, with the army in charge and an uncertain future ahead.


Roses lay on the list of Egyptians killed since the anti-Mubarak revolt displayed in Cairo's Tahrir square on February 12, 2011, a day after President Hosni Mubarak's ouster from 30 years in power.


Flowers are seen on the names of people who were killed during clashes, in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011. Egypt exploded with joy, tears, and relief after pro-democracy protesters brought down President Hosni Mubarak on Friday with a momentous march on his palaces and state TV. The ruling military pledged Saturday to eventually hand power to an elected civilian government and reassured allies that Egypt will abide by its peace treaty with Israel.

2. Quite moving.

It was particularly touching that they insisted on erecting a memorial before they left the square to honor their dead. I guess they don't need any damn committee to decide how to do this--it just gets done.
