As protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak continued Saturday in North Africa, Egyptian-Americans assembled across the United States to demonstrate their dissatisfaction for his regime.

In cities across the United States, crowds carried banners and flags and chanted slogans in solidarity with tens of thousands of those rallying at least 6,000 miles away in Cairo, Alexandria and other Egyptian cities.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the United Nations in New York on Saturday afternoon held up signs that read: "Mubarak Regime MUST GO," "Egypt's Struggle Is Our Struggle!" and "Egypt -- We Hear You!"

Meanwhile, they yelled out in unison, "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Mubarak must go!"
