    Egyptians carry a long national flag during a gathering in Tahrir square, Cairo on February 18, 2011. More than one million people attended traditional Friday prayers in central Cairo's Tahrir Square to call on Egypt's military rulers to speed up reforms and their crackdown on corruption. Egyptians also celebrated the day marking one week after Egypt's president Hosny Mubarak was forced to step down by nation-wide mass protests.

    Crowds gather in Tahrir Square in Cairo on Feb. 18. Egyptians held a nationwide "Victory March" on Friday to celebrate the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule one week ago, to protect the revolution and to remind new military rulers of the power of the street. Hundreds of thousands joined the rallies, which are also a memorial to the 365 people who died in the 18-day uprising, with many Egyptians expressing their intention to guard their newly-won prospect of democracy.
